Great shot. How many frames where stacked to get this image?
Thank you.
I stacked 150 frames from a one minute video shot at 50 frames per second.

Looks like you haven't lost your touch. Very nice.
Thank you for the compliment just don’t look to closely at the right edge.
I was going to try again last night but my winds were Santa Anna style.
I have lots of time to do better.

I haven't been able to get any Solar system objects for years . Trees and humidity has put that on hold. Looking good , better than my attempts. You're picking up some really good detail . KUDOS !
I’ve been fighting monsoon season and now smoke from so many fires west of me. There was a layer of smoke that I was shooting through that killed my Jupiter shots but my Saturn and Mars faired fairly well. The banding on the right edge irked me but I guess there’s just too much artifact.
Thank you for the compliment and keep yourself safe.

Not as nice as Northstars but it is a start.
This is the first Mars session I have done in close to 2 years so its a bit rough.
Particulars are...
Celestron C8 Ultra mounted on a Celestron CGEM go to pod.
Celestron 236C Cmos camera and processed with AutoStakkert!2 with Registax6 for the wavelets.
I'll keep on trying..

Very nicely captured complete with the ion trail.
I was hoping you would get a chance to image this.

First crack at it. Will try again, and add some horizon details in the composition as it gets closer and brighter up to 7/23
Nicely captured!

Nice captures! I went out the last two nights, shooting it. I was surprised how much dimmer it was last night, than the night before, and how much it had moved/relocated, vs the night before. Thanks for sharing your shots! I have not even looked at my shots from last night, yet...
Thank you for commenting.
I haven’t been able to see it since thanks to clouds in the afternoon onwards.
I’m hoping it will still be visible when we get a break in the monsoon flow.
It’s supposed to be raining for the next couple of evenings.

Almost identical to my capture tonight.
I mounted my Tamron 150-600 mm on a Vixen bar and used my mount to guide the camera.
I got a good series, but only 4 I'd call keepers. Not sure what happened.
I think I need to drop back to ISO1600 maybe.

What focal length did you set it at?
I’m getting some of my best shots at 200mm with room to crop and frankly I am a feared to use my big Bertha.
Hang in there we have time. What I don’t have are many cloudless nights.
Thank you for the compliment.

I don't have monsoon clouds to contend with. But I do have this tree to contend with. But at least I was able to see the very end of the tail. After a lot of stretching that is.
Comparing to the Starry Nights simulation in the 2nd image, I need to pick a new location to view it from.
Over the next few nights, it will be climbing and moving to the left.

Hang in there or consider moving your scope unless you’re using a pier.
I don’t know how long it’s going to be visible and I’m still upset that I couldn’t image Hale-Bop. I didn’t know how in 1997.
I’m grabbing what I can.
Most of all, stay safe.

Now that it has moved to the evening skies I just have to fight with the monsoon clouds that are rolling in each evening.
Today the clouds stayed to the southeast and let me have an hour of image time.
Still there was a fair amount of haze.
Here are a couple of shots with my Canon 7D Mark II and Canon 70-200mm L lens.
I used a standard tripod and remote shutter to help with movement.
The comet head has transitioned to a nice green.
