A Continued solid night with stable/transparent skies yielding an avg FWHM of 3.3 on the stacked starfield. 13P/ Olbers is as good as it gets, about 15 degrees up, from my latitude of ~38degrees N during prime imaging time. I've once again darkened the background, heavily cropped the image and saturated the colors more than I prefer (obviously to hide some mistakes in processing). This is the wide field version as the C14 version is yet to be finished. More imaging tonight.
