Decided to take a parting shot of comet Garradd C2009P1:

It would probably have been better with a OSC camera; however, I sort of like the LRGB rendition... Stars look a bit like strings of Christmas tree lights BUT I did get the subject of the image in reasonable detail.
Enjoy!

Very nice. FWIW DSS has a routine that supposedly aligns both the stars and the comet. Don't know if you gave that a try but
can't hurt. It works well if your subs are fairly short and the comet isn't moving too quickly.

Yes, I've used DSS's comet alignment / processing features in the past; however, I was starting with LRGB subs in this case and ImagesPlus appeared to be the better choice. I might take another look at reprocessing using DSS...
