Hi all
Processed my images from today, from Redhead Bluff south of newcastle

Both images are a stack of 3 1250th sec shots in quick sucession through Berts wonderful 300mm f2.8 flourite lens, then aligned on the comet and stacked, processed with Iris.
The other shot was taken earlier today (4:21pm)with the unmodded 300D, its 12x 4000th sec ISO 100 through the 10 inch, processed as above. When looking at the cometthrough the scope it seemed so bright it was almost hurting my eye!

It was magnificent seeing the comet through binocs just as the Sun is setting, sadly cloud killed it later on.
looking fowards to tomorrow night
Scott
