Many thanks Peter - I'd say
that's well worth doing.
You do have to sit on the object for quite a time
to build up the signal over the noise.
The Moon is now interfering with observations of
the faint coma but I managed to get a fairly definitive image as per the
attached just before the Moon got too close. Now that we have this, it will be
interesting to measure what happened to the very inner coma to see whether any
fallback can be detected following earlier stacked images of 29P by Martin, Nick
and others.
BTW: Since that picture was
taken, 29P has had another outburst that has taken its magnitude from 15.3R to
14.3R !!!
There is a MISSION 29P webpage on the Comet Section
website now.
It's not quite the same as the original one as I am
having to rebuild it following a problem with a server software
update.
However you can see all the latest observations
listed.

from 25th Novemeber
And a stack of 70x60 seconds in colour with the comet added
back in to the star field. Both images taken with a ZWO ASI071MC Pro
through my 14inch SCT with a luminance/IR cut filter. I
would have carried on a little longer but cloud moved in.
