Comet 73P

This is my first attempt at imaging a bright comet. I took ten 2-minute exposures, stacked them, and removed all the stars in Photoshop. The comet is moving pretty rapidly, so it travelled quite a distance in the 20 minutes I was imaging it. After getting all the detail I could out of the comet, I put the stars from the first image back in.
