There haven’t been too many opportunities to photograph the comet in the first half of November owing to a bright Moon and cloudy skies. But I did get very dark skies on the evening of November 6 and shot a sequence spanning about 15 minutes near the end of twilight and when the comet dropped below the trees. The images were stacked and aligned using Siril and then finished in Lightroom/Photoshop.

The final image was then converted to a black-and-white negative as this format can show more of the detail in the comet’s tail. It also shows more of the satellite tracks that criss-cross the sky.

It has been fun shooting this comet and now I look forward to the next photogenic comet to grace our skies.
