Comet Lovejoy, meteor and animation 26-12-2011

My first view of this comet. Looks like it's faded from earlier sightings, but at least I got to see it. Taken by pointing the camera out the kitchen window. :P

The comet and meteor frame was taken with a mintron video camera, the colour frame with an old Fuji S5600, 2 stacked 15 seconds exposure.

Youtube animation video here.

Nice Kevin, we traveled to Bakers Creek to get south of the city lights.

:D I love that you can see it from your kitchen window.

Ah that's how you avoided the lights. It's quite light polluted from here now. Not good for big faint fuzzies.

You wouldn't believe some of the things I've seen from the kitchen window. :D

Very interesting!
