Comet Holmes is fascinating because if has changed so quickly. Here are two images taken three days apart with the same technique, equipment and to the best of my ability processing. What a difference three days makes!

15 (1) minute subs for each of LRGB, background stars and comet aligned and processed separately, then re-combined in Photoshop as a final step.

Jim, Gorgeous comet images! The core details are awesome. You should send that one in to Astronomy or Sky and Telescope to publish. Thanks
