Comet Lovejoy (Time Lapse)

Seen some good stuff on the forum so I thought best show my attempt. Enjoy. Still learning as I took the wrong field and the comet started to diminish out of the cameras field of view. Next time will use 18mm instead of 50mm.

Good stuff Malcolm :) what exposure times? Would be nice if you could increase the frequency of the frames to smooth it out more.

Thanks all,
Roger the exposure time are 30 seconds each no pause, 50mm FL, ISO 1600. Unfortunately my camera can't handle any shorter otherwise the picture will be a bit dark. I had manipulated each image before putting it in the video producer to increase the level. I was really pushing the boundaries on this.

All this is a learning curve for me though, I intend making changes in the way I take shot and one day hope to get a better lens with lower F/Stop
