The total time I was imaging session was 6 hours, I integrated a sequence to take a 15 sec' Lum image between every other Color filter frame. I did this so that I could get an animation of it. It is located at https://youtu.be/mFdhDsyTy80 and a full image of the comet is in the attached file. It consists of just RGB colors without a Lum. The skies were clear but with a 1st quarter moon out.

Here is my image of Comet Atlas. I used SGPro to capture and Used DSS in Comet Mode to stack and Photoshop for the Fun Cleanup and stuff. I combined 2 images that Deep Sky Stacker produced (DSS). 1 was the Stars stacked as they normally would be. And the second with the comet Isolated. I then cleaned up the Isolated Comet of all its star trails then Merged the two images together to produce this image.
