Comet C/2023 A3

I captured some images last Friday (25th) of Comet C/2023 A3. The comet wasn't visible to the naked eye but was quite clear in 10x50 binoculars, and even more impressive through my SCT. The sky conditions didn't allow for exposures longer than 13 seconds as the images began to fog. I attempted a 25-second exposure at ISO 400, but it produced the same outcome as 1600 at 13 seconds. I need to learn how to start stacking.
