Here is my recent go at comet Holmes from Friday night. It unexpectedly cleared so I quick set up in my back yard. Far from ideal conditions. :S

Canon 30D (not modified)
C8 @ F6.3
Standard G11, no guiding
Several different length exposures (30 to 120 seconds)totaling about 12 minutes @ ISO800
ImagesPlus for calibration and stacking and a final tweak with PhotoShop

Comment always appreciated,
Robert

Robert,
Real nice.
I didn't think it was that clear Friday
night. It looked awful hazy to me,like either dust,smoke,dirt,or some thin layer clouds.
I find out when I get my pictures back.
