The clouds finally gave me a break to shoot this. This is my first real comet capture (I shot NEOWISE a few years ago but it was just a stock DSLR/lens shot).
I have a very quick timelapse at the beginning of this video covering the comet if anyone's interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ApH5fxkWBI

See this on Astrobin: https://www.astrobin.com/telzdd/
Equipment used:
- Astro-Tech AT60ED with the 0.8x Reducer/Flattener on Advanced VX Mount
- Mount controlled via Astroberry
- ZWO ASI533MC Pro
- Svbony 60mm guide scope with ZWO ASI120MM-Mini guide cam
- 25x240sec with L-Pro
- 15 darks
- 30 flats for each session
- 35 bias
- I stacked the Comet in AstroPixelProcessor and stacked the stars in Siril to try and just get the stars stacked. I then made a composite in Photoshop.
Due to my exposure settings, I couldn't get rid of the comet in a star stack in APP and I couldn't get rid of the stars in Siril so I ended up combining them.

Happy to answer any questions! Thanks for looking!
