Comet C/2013 R1 Lovejoy

[chances]

Hey all,
Just put the finishing parts onto my telescope and grabbed a few pictures of Lovejoy last night. Up until last night I was limited to about 20 second exposures but now its just a matter of tinkering with the guider :computer:

Anyway was very happy with my 1st set of long exposure photos so I thought id share :D

I had to shrink it down heaps so the forums would let me upload it here.
If you would like to see original sized GIF file its available at ->This Link (http://members.iinet.net.au/~max_j/Lovejoy%20171013.gif)<-
