Comet C/2009 R1 (McNaught)

Due to encroaching cloud and the light of dawn I was only able to get 3 exposures for this stack. Nonetheless, both of the comet's tails are visible, the longer ion tail pointing roughly towards 1 o'clock and the dust tail towards 2 o'clock.

Canon EOS 40D ,Celestron C8 telescope
3 x 2-minute exposures at f6.3, ISO 1600. Images registered and stacked on the comet using DeepSkyStacker. full exif
