Celestron C11 with v4 HyperStar and ASI 2600 mc (gain 100, -10C)
Description:
I captured several nights of Comet C/2017 K2 PANSTARRS on its conjunction with globular cluster M10. I did not know how to process this, but I purchased PixInsight and viewed a number of tutorials on how to process comets. I thought it was worth taking a second look at the data. It was challenging to shoot because my location does not have a good view to the South (hills) and the Moon was causing significant gradients across the image.
