Comet 38P/Stephan-Oterma 2019-01-26 and stellar occultation

I had some clear skies and decided to take a stab at some DSO's, more on those later.  As I settled in with the kids I found a curious comet near my subject galaxy.  I slewed over and there it was, comet 38P/Stephan-Oterma.  I started shooting it and let it go, after 3.5 hours I found a nice animation!




Here's a DSS stack with comet and stars composited and processed in PS.



Here's the measurement screenshot

Finally I used my 14" f/4.5 Custom built Newt - https://maphilli14.webs.com/astro-equipment
