Comet Jacques - Coma
It turns out that there was just a bit too much noise in the high ISO images I took of comet Jacques back on August 26th. Stacking and processing them in PixInsight revealed a slightly better view of the nucleus/coma of the comet, but the improvement was marginal at best. If there is a tail in there I didn't capture it.
