Re: [APML] OT: Comet Neat on May 15

Philip - that is a really unusual photo, the comet really shows its form
when you guide on it. You got a great photo with such short exposures.

Someone was hinting at removing the stars in a shot guided on the comet
nucleus and then reshooting the same field without the comet and
stacking them. Your shot would look to make that pretty easy. The number
of stars you'd have to remove would not be that many. Maybe cheating but
it would look amazing. Worth a try, not sure it is kosher though. Like
you need more work. It's beyond me at my skill level but with a photo
like that it would be tempting.
