Comet Lemmon over Glasgow Head

With clear skies in the forecast, I packed up all my gear and headed for Canso to shoot Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon). My previous attempt had been foiled due to some clouds so I wanted to take another shot. The weather forecast for the next week or so didn't look too great so I figured what the heck!
I had two mounts and scopes working on other targets while I waited for the comet to rise. Once it hit about 2am, I started shooting with a tracker and DSLR and then a short while later I turned my scopes to the comet.
This is a wide field shot using a Nikon D850 and Samyang 135mm f/2 lens on an iOptron Skyguider Pro. The comet shots are tracked 20x30s, f/2.2, ISO 3200, and the foreground is shot from the same location at the same settings with the tracker turned off.
