Excellent detail, Louie. Going unguided with the focal length of a C11 is not for the faint of heart.
You're going to love working with guided data once you get that set up.
Your image does have a decided green cast, though. It cleans up nicely with a simple color balance.
If you haven't seen it, Daniel Verschatse has a wonderful version:

to shoot for when making color corrections.
That's a fine effort you've made.
Feel free to post a higher kb image the next time you post. Most people post in the 200-300 kb range.

Your comet presentations just keep getting better, Dennis.
There's speculation that this comet, or comets as the case may be, might be a naked eye comet. Here's hoping.

OT: How to save images for viewing on different mo

Posted By dan kowall

Larry Durst said:
.... so finally my question: is there any way to save images so that they'll be good on a variety of screens that people might be using, or should I always give final tweaks looking at the best monitor I can?

Hi Larry,
It's shocking to see how different the same image looks on different monitors. Your only hope is to work in a 'standard' color space, such as sRGB, on a calibrated monitor. You might find some more information here:
