Comet Catalina C/2013 US10

C/2013 US10
Comet
C/2013 US10 is an Oort cloud comet discovered on 31 October 2013 by the Catalina Sky Survey at an apparent magnitude of 19 using a 0.68-meter Schmidt–Cassegrain telescope. As of September 2015 the comet is around apparent magnitude 6.

I finally got the sensor/filter clean on my DSLR and went to grab some images. My thought was to use the .fit files so I dumped all of my .cr2 files and discovered that Deep sky stacker won't let you use different formats. So here's my image of comet Catalina with out the usual flats, darks, or bias frames!
