Comet Garrad 3 August

[peeb61]

Took this image of Comet Garrad on Wednesday 3 August and has moved considerably from my last image.

This is a stack of only 2 x 2 min at 1600iso full frame (Uncropped just reduced) plus darks with my Canon 500D through my 8" f/4. The last couple of images from my run on that night.

Whilst the image is not the best because of it's aspect for me, the position of the object is still there.

:D Nice capture, especially when you consider how low in the sky it must be for you.

Yep, pretty cool, nothing wrong with that one.

Thanks jjj and Leon, it is on the low side for me and getting lower(?) hopefully I can grab more before it dissappears completely. Having a bit of a change in weather here at the moment but this comet only needs short exposures so there is still a chance.
