Title: Comet Jacques C/2014 E2

No blue so had to synthesise that which is why the stars are uncoloured; there was a lot of green so I don't think the colours are too far out.  It really needs a hypersensitive cooled DSLR to catch it properly but there you go.

I also didn't clean the filters quite as well as I thought.

40 mins of luminance + 24 mins red + 10 mins green + ahem blue
