Description

Star Adventurer tracker, a Nikon D810a DSLR with a Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4 lens (stopped down to 2.5)  and I stacked 60 x 30s exposures.
Image capture began before the end of twilight so there is still some glow in the sky from sunset. 
The transparency was below average hence some halos near the horizon. 
But overall, the 50mm Sigma Art lens performed remarkably well in getting the comet data.
