Final C/2018 Y1 Iwamoto with M36 & M38

Not really pleased with the results of my Iwamoto pictures, I started to do something different. In stead of taking the ISO 3200 or ISO 6400, I took the ISO 1600 pictures.The Nikon Raw was converted to DNG and editing with CS4. Unsharped Mask was used but this time the threshold is increased. The pictures looks more sharp with the comet still bright enough to distinguish from the background stars. The open star clusters M36 and M38 are easy to recognize.
