Comet Lovejoy 28th December 2011

Hi all, this was my first good view of the comet since 23rd December, although still hindered by cloud. Cannot fit the comet into 50mm lens FOV. First image is taken with 50mm lens at F2.2 and 30 second exposure, using Canon 20Da at ISO 800; tracked with Celestron 8" fork mount.

Second image taken with 24mm lens at F2, 1 minute exposure. The lights of Port Lincoln at the bottom right corner.
