Vertical shot of Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

I wanted to try and get all of the Comets tail by doing a vertical shot instead of a horizontal shot. I think I may have gotten most of it but I need to use my 85mm. Shot this using my star tracker, Rokinon 135mm lens with a CLS filter, ISO 1600 for 30 seconds. This is a stacked image of 55 light frames, and 25 darks. So amazed as to how bright this comet is as well as the altitude of it with each passing day.
