This is the first comet of significant brightness I’ve seen since Hale-Bopp.  I took a large number of photos using my Canon 10D.  The image is a composite of two different methods of stacking the frames.  One image I stacked using the core of the comet to get a good image of it.  The second is stacked using the stars for alignment.  I took the comet stack and merged it with the phtoto of the star stacked image.

The end result is a final image of a comet that isn’t blured from its movement and a star field without trails.
