Finally :)

Got some time lapses at last. I was surprised how faint it got just in a matter of days. This was taken from a very dark site. As dark as it gets really approx. 50km north of Orange. See annoted picture. Still you can see it got very faint very quick.

Time lapse A [10MB]

Time lapse B [2MB]

I have two time lapses because the wind knocked my tripod before the end. So the last time lapse is from another location until dawn.

You can see me on and off the main scope doing polar alignment then guiding 5min subs with a 50mm lens which I'll post later. I got four panels out of 5. The wind got the best of me in the end and I couldn't get the head of the comet in the high-res mosaic but I've got a nice tail.

Still got some decent timelapses. Will try to stack and also make some star trails.
