I have the same problem. The comet is drifting into a sea of street lights. I could move the scope closer to the swamp, but don't want to contend with the mossies and snakes.

Thanks Paul. Glad I could get this conjunction with all the cloud we are having.

Great images Kevin. Love the details in the tail on January 12.

Thanks guys. Shooted it with the ED80 tonight as I haven't imaged it through that scope yet.

Thanks Dave. The fun ends in about a week as it flies north!

Not really sure on how to process the tail to pop out more,

Heres my go, about 30mins worth with the ED100

cometcatcher (Kevin) · #**192** 22-01-2015, 12:42 AM

Nothing wrong with that Ed.

Grouse Thread Kevin, totally enjoyed going through it, Lol . awesome capturing by yourself and others too

Dam this East Coast Low, doubt i see too much more of it untill sunk deep in the murkness ? ?

cometcatcher (Kevin) · #**194** 22-01-2015, 11:12 PM

Yeah same here Bob. Only a few days left before the street lights get it and the wet season has set in. Not likely to see it again but we've had a good run, got some nice photos and memories.

Hello,
Here is an animation over 3.5 hours of the tail of Comet Lovejoy taken from data from Jan 20.

There is quite a bit of detail and change over this time span.

Cheers, Andre Paquette
