Comet ISON – 17×120 sec @ ISO 800, TV-85 at F/5.6, IDAS-LPS filter, Canon T3 (modified.)

Friday, November 1st, 2013 was clear and cool.  I was convinced that Saturday morning would be crystal clear and I could get some great shots of all the comets in the sky.  Unfortunately, the sub-tropical jet stream intruded and brought with it high altitude clouds and ruined my plans to do my comet imaging.

I shot lots of subs for ISON, but deleted more than I kept because most had clouds in them.   Some had tree branches and I kept them because I had nothing else.   Consequently, the image quality suffered with the low number of sub-images and the gradients introduced by the tree branches in the pics.  Oh, well…

BTW, the star-streaks version is below:
