Clouded Comet Lovejoy Timelapse

[iceman]

Up again this morning to try and capture Comet Lovejoy, joined by RB and Rodstar (great company!) but a frustrating cloud bank sat right over the top of the comet and we only got a few glimpses of the tail rising above the clouds.

The timelapse turned out great though, watch those dynamic clouds :) Watch in 720p HD on Youtube at:

The cloud certainly hindered the view, however the timelapse is excellent - still managed to capture the tail. Great work.

Shame that the clouds just didn't want to part enough to give us a good view of it but nice work anyway.:thumbsup:

Cheers Daniel.

Nice timelapse, Mike, but it's a pity about the clouds.

THanks guys, yeh the clouds were a real pain.

The worst is, it's looking to be clear tonight/tomorrow morning - and being xmas morning, there's no way I'd tell Kate i'm going out again :)


Unfortunately it's not mine.. yet :) I borrowed RB's. :)

I'll look at getting one in January.

Well, you could tell SWMBO that you were going out again, but that wouldn't be any guarantee on you actually getting back in:):P

Unless, of course, you made it a family event:)

It was great to catch up Rod and Mike, on both nights, too bad the weather didn't co-operate. :(
And of course tomorrow looks clear. :rolleyes:

Timelapse looks great Mike, just wish that cloud had moved out of the way for us.

Cheers

PS you and Houghy need to grab a 5D MkII ASAP. :P
