252P for 15-March-2016.
First a 75mm wide field slightly cropped 16 x 120 sec exposures at ISO 3200.

Moving very fast, trailing slightly in 60 sec exposures using the 8" scope. A little hard to process with moon interfering.

Cheers,

Justin.

Looking good Justin, that coma looks a bit off centre maybe it's turning to show a bit of a tail.
Still cloudy here but pretty sure that I got a look at it last night with the the binos between clouds.

Excellent shots Justin I had rain last night but got a nice shot the night before. Will try for a mosaic with the LMC tonight weather permitting.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks Guys!:)

Good photo opportunity tonight, the LMC and 252P should fit comfortably at 100mm length lens.
Better shots after the moon sets, if I can stay awake that long!:zzz::rolleyes:.

Cheers,

Justin.
