Comet 8P Tuttle, Batch 14

Click image above to view full size
This image is the result of a sum combine on 15 x 60 second images of comet 8P Tuttle. Unfortunately I didn't realise until after taking the images that there is slight trailing in the comet due to it's motion across the sky. A nice glow is visible around the core, and a distinct line of what looks to be tail out to the left.
