Hi nice shots, what tripod and tracking type did you use?

Sorry for not mentioning the tracking mount. I used an AP
MACH1. The image of the setup shows the scope and DSLR on a
stationary. I used Mt. Rainier to focus the DSLR during the
day since its quite difficult to get a good auto focus at night
figuring I had very limited time to adjust parameters.
Auto guiding was not used for the comet images since the time span was not that great but I did use it later for a few other deep space objects that I also imaged that night. Thanks for asking.
