Comet Lovejoy 31Dec from Senic Lookout Newcastle

Finally the clouds partly dissapeared, allowing me to get some imaging done in between clouds at Senic Lookout. Sky was surprisingly dark in between the clouds with a stiff onshore soueaster blowing. Once again I used the old Sampson GEM to do tracked exposures.

9x30 secs ISO400. 50mm f1.8 lens @f1.8, thats all I could , I did more subs but they had too much cloud in them. Larger version here

I could not see the comet naked eye though.
