Here is my shot of Comet Jacques from last night 08-28-2014 from 05:19 U.T. to 05:42 U.T. Still very bright about 7th mag, looks good in Binoculars too! The Comet is up all night for us Northern observers.

08-28-2014 from 05:19 U.T. to 05:42 U.T. Taken at my Observatories & MVAS Dark Sky site In Yellow Springs, Ohio www.mvas.org
20 x 1 minute subs, unmodified Canon 6D, ISO 3200, Prime Focus of my Homebuilt 16" Diameter Newt. Scope. I'm working on the movie, but that will come later. The faint tail shows up much better in a long exposure Stack, after stretching the 16 bit data in Maxim DL. I used the Shareware program "StarStax" in Comet mode to make this 20 minute exposure stack of the Comet, it does it automatically for those interested in trying it.
