Did you get the comet from a few years back? That had a beautiful green core with a blue ion tail.
This one didn't give off as much colour it seems.
I think there might be a Pixinsight trial. There's so much to learn that a trial doesn't give you the time to really get into things. I used the LE version at one point I think too.
I used the Pixinsight trial, absolutely adored it! I was actually processing the comet image in it, when the bloody trial ran out!!!
Need someone to buy my fisheye so I can get it!! It's 260 quid....

I'm really intrigued... How did you add the colour to this image?

Is it actually that lovely green colour? (I haven't seen it at all).
Thank you again!

Here are two versions using two different Processes. This is also the first time I have imaged a comet with my telescope with all big kit, as well as processing one. Shortly I hope to get some better software called Pixinsight. I had a demp version of it, but not got the dosh to buy it at present. When I do I will re-process all images!
Shot with the same kit as the last two astro images.
1. Shot in my back garden - Processed in Siril

2. Shot at Parsley Hay - Processed in Deep Sky Stacker

It was shot in my back garden.
This was shot with the same kit as what I shot the Orion Nebula with,
Stacked & stretched in Siril, then PP'd in PS and Topaz AI DeNoise.
There are two version. One is the RGB one and the other has been processed with a Hubble palette.

This was taken at silly AM on Wednesday morning, at Parsley Hay on the High Peak Trail.
Usual kit used but it was shot using a 70mm f6 420mm ED Refractor Telescope, with x0.8 Field Flattener/Reducer this made it 336mm at f4.8.
Stacked & stretched in Siril, then PP'd in PS and Topaz AI DeNoise.
In a few months when there is clear weather, and a new moon. I'll reshoot this in RGB
