RE Comet Swan

Hi Everyone,
OK, I did promise bluefire, that I would try for a shot at Comet Swan,
its not the best shot in the World and it is an up close shot,
I had some washout due to the Moon and a lot of Haze in my skies but I figured, if I didnt get it now, I may never get to try since, my weather is crazy up here.
I do have several versions and all of the original data to play with to see if I can pull out more detail.
This shot is a stack and combine only no further processing was done.
44-15 sec subs 6 inch f/8 Refractor & an Atik 0.5X reducer on a 2 inch diagonal Meade DSI I color Camera

Hi doctordub, welcome to EAF!

Those images are fine dmill, I'm not exactly savvy in the Astrophotography department, but I think your exposure was just a little long. Happy hunting and try to get some more pics in there man!
