Description

12P/Pons-Brooks, shot on 24 March 2024 from my back yard in Saint-Hubert, QC. The comet was very close (15deg) off the horizon, and over the Montreal skyline, so light pollution galore. Nonetheless, for only my second attempt at stacking comets (C/2022 E3 (ZTF) being the first), not unhappy with the results.

Due to issues with DSS not wanting to complete the stacking process for comet + stars, I elected instead to do two stacks in Siril- one on the stars, one on the comet. From there, merged the two images in Photoshop, cleared up the blurry parts of each photo, and blended together. My PS skills leave much to be desired as I haven't spent nearly as much time on it as I should.
