McNaught C/2008 25th September

[Garyh]

Hi everyone,
Well I have finally got around to processing some more images ex some more of Comet McNaught 2008. It would now be behind a tree for some weeks before I can have another peek.
The Ion tail on the 25th was the brightest that I have seen it and luckily the seeing wasn`t too bad as well as the transparency.
Image is a stack of 14 x 2-1/2 min with Canon 20D and 6" newtonian..
Full frame with minimal cropping...
Thanks for looking and CS
Gary

Excellent capture Gary. :)

The Ion tail really stands out. The comet looks like it is speeding through space against the background stars.

Very well done. :thumbsup:

Check out the ion tail, a lovely blue colour and compliments the comet beautifully with it's aqua marine hue.
An excellent capture Gary.
