Lovejoy 5th Jan

Was a bit touch & go last night, 5 of us were humbly working at our cameras !
Initially there were a few clouds about east of the storm cell that travelled from Tenterfield to Warwick around 11pm for about an hour. Some thin mid level moisture lurking till 1:30am. Then had a 30min clear dark patch over the SSE and then the cloud rolled in again, so only a small window of opertunity which allowed time for 5 subs ! During this time , Lovejoy was just very barely visible to the eye !

Here is my final of 5 x 3min subs, 18mm, F/4, ISO800, ICNR,
Stacked in Registax, Processed in CS3 !
