Hi All,

This one has popped up in the Western sky after sunset. I really can't shoot comet in the East unless Melbourne turns it lights out, so had to wait a bit for this one.

Usual gear (ASA N12, STT8300), 12 frames each of 30 second LRGB.

Stacked and combined in CCDStack.

Post processed in Photoshop.

Share and Enjoy.

Cheers
Stuart

Hi Bob,

Masters is a competitor to Bunnings actually...

C/2015 G2 (Master) is a Westerly evening target now.

Would have had another one tonight, but some clouds intervened, by the time they had gone, so had the comet.

Cheers
Stuart
