Great stuff Jason. We were on the beach waiting for it last night but there were too many clouds. Well done on capturing it

Thank you, Andrew. I got out into the desert last night. I had enough time to shoot 3 series of photos. The moon light was so intense that I might as well have stayed in Phoenix. We will see. Going to try some different settings to stack the photos. The comet should be a good show for the next few nights. Let me know if your post any photos.

So well done explain Do we need calibration frames besides darks ? Can we stack 30 seconds and 60 seconds exposures ?

[@JasonYoder]

Calibration frames would not hurt. I do not know how well stacking frames at different exposures will work so please letting me know your results.

You’d do better turning you patio fence lights off. They are destroying any shots you’re taking

[@JasonYoder]

They were off. I turned them on for the video. I was taking my dark frames with the lens cap on while filming.
