Comet 168P/Hergenrother animation/video

Well this is a first for me, an animation!  It’s composed of 47 5min subs taken on Saturday 7th October of Comet 168P/Hergenrother as it passed through Pegasus.  This is quite faint at magnitude 10 but not beyond decent aperature amateur scopes if you want to look for it. These shots were taken with the normal setup of 8″ Altair F4 Newt/QHY8 and an OAG/Lodestar guiding.
