Deep Comet Lovejoy
Hi all.
I went to Senic Lookout, Newcastle to image the comet rising over the ocean, with Newcastle's light pollution behind me.
I took a long contonious series of images, here is a stack of the best of them, from when the comet was high enough to see, but before too much dawn light washed it out.
43x 6 sec ISO1600 images with 50mm f1.8 lens, EOS600D, fixed tripod mounted.
Full res. version
here
Aligned and stacked in Iris software, then finished with Photoshop.
Scott

I've just posted it on Google+ and Facebook, and it's been shared by Fraser - so it's getting a tonne of views now
Congrats Scott!
