With my recent image of Comet lemmon and panstarrs, I wrote an explaination of the difficulties of setting up for the shot.
This is what I posted in IIS.
This is the one I've been waiting for, comet Lemmon and Panstarrs on the same image.
Don't mind saying it was difficult to set this up, a narrow window before sunrise, 4 dgrees of hill in the way, limitations with the dome slit and having to mount the camera at the front of the scope at a very odd angle. Took about an hour.
Anyway to the image.
Panstarrs bottom left, Lemmon more obvious to the right near the SMC.
Canon 1100D, 18 to 55 zoom lens at 28mm f/4, piggy back on HEQ Pro 5 mount.
3 x 5 minute subs, ISO 800, stacked in DSS, processed in PS7.
Think I've imaged just about every way possible with my gear.
And this translation from Rare photo captures.

In Tilbrook’s image, Comet Lemmon appears low above a setting during a bottom left of a frame, while Comet Pan-STARRS is clearly manifest as a splendid intent with a wispy tail on a right side of a image, nearby a blemish of light that is a Small Magellanic Cloud (a satellite universe of a Milky Way).
“This is a one I’ve been watchful for,” Tilbrook told SPACE.com in an email. “Don’t mind observant it was formidable to set this up, a slight window before sunrise, 4 degrees of mountain in a way, stipulations with a architecture cut and carrying to mountain a camera during a front of a range during a really peculiar angle. Took about an hour.” He used a Canon 1100D with 18 to 55 wizz lens during 28mm f/4, mounted on a HEQ Pro 5.
That's one weird translation, don't even know what it means!!
Cheers,
Justin.
