Share please your captured comets

Giacobini-Zinner comet
Have you ever captured comets?
There are lots of comets in Astrobin. Just search for "comet".
My first (and thanks to the clouds my only) attempt was 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

This was my first ever picture of a comet. I missed taking pics of Haley and Hale-Bop.

Just wanted to gather them all at one place
Thanks!
My two recent attempts:

I've only captured the Neowise comet when it came close to the earth.
So far I've never done any others, wouldn't even know how to start

Looks gorgeous!

Just FYI, there is a group called "Comet Imaging" that one can join (I just did). Anyone can reference this group in the basic information of comet images. This allows to sort of "gather them in one place".
FYI: I recently created a similar group of asteroids, called "Asteroids". I am maintaining a list of observed asteroids in this group in the file linked in the following post: List of Asteroids observations - AstroBin
Hope this helps and
Cheers

My first proper comet image was Hale Bopp 
and my most recent one is C/2021 A1 Leonard
and my most recent one is C/2021 A1 Leonard
My first image was of Hale-Bopp… on a 3ft telescope with a nitrogen cooled camera as I was in High School in Greensboro, NC. I had „a bit“ of help from my host father who was an astrophysicist. I have been trying for a year now to find the CD with the images to process and publish them here (I‘ve copied them off the original disks some 15 years ago).
Comet NEOWISE. This was only my second astrophotography attempt, using my Canon with a 75-300 zoom lens.
Yes I did...
...100 years ago (it fells like
)
Comet Iwamoto and NGC 2903
I didn't have an astrocamera then, but I call it my (re)entry into AP and have learned a lot since then.
I like it when solar system objects meet DSOs. This fascination is reflected in this image (but it will never be an APOD
)

Can I learn how to do stuff that stays still first please? 
I don't know how I'd even start tracking a target with it's own trajectory!

This time of year when it's galaxy season is when I tend to go for the more oddball (as opposed to my usual nebulae) targets like quasars and comets - I get bored with yet more images of M81/M82!
My restricted view of the sky means I often end up going for some of the fainter objects so less photographically appealing - satisfying to get though. When objects are faint I'll often do them as a negative monochrome image like the old photographic plates as faint stuff tends to be easier to see.
PHD2 actually has a comet tracking option that will let you apply a drift to follow an object. The NINA orbitals plugin can do this for you or you can supply the values yourself from the Minor Planets Ephemeris Service.

Hi everyone,
if you want to see a very large collection of comet observations on AB, then have a look at the work of Taras Prystavski

Awesome photos. A friend captured Hyakutake and I still have some photos in paper; next week I will digitalize them.

Hello everyone,
Comets are awesome! Night sky almost has no changes from year to year: the same galaxies, nebulae and constellations. Probably this is except of planets and Moon moving across the sky, supernovae or other rare events. Comets changing very quickly, they are unpredictable and really can amaze us! So many people became interested in astronomy just because once they had observed Hale-Bopp comet! Comets are inspiring and can instill love of astronomy in so many people!
Thanks, Manuel!
best regards and clear skies,
Taras

What's your favourite astrophotograph?
I don't think I'd ever be completely satisfied with every photo but I'm most pleased with my image of the Pleiades. It was my first shot with my ZWO 2600mc Pro too and my first time properly getting to grips with Pixinsight. https://www.a...
Author shares comet capture; would appreciate seeing others' astrophotography work.
Before and After: One year of astrophotography
Hey, I just felt like sharing a proud moment: my one year progress from September 2022 to September 2023 on the Andromeda Galaxy. I will start off by saying that I have high aspirations for the future, and am really excited for what is to come (I wan...
Author documents progress; would relate to sharing astrophotography improvement over time.
