Not the best but that's all I got. Missed the head as the wind really picked up and that was a show stopper. Still can make out the tail which was bang on within the milkyway so hard to see. Those are 4 panels shot with a Pentax SMC-M 50mm and the QHY8 on a G11, guided 5x5min subs for each panel. The black streak on the left last panel is a cloud. It's unfortunately a single sub so no way to reject anything.

There's a slightly better quality here (http://www.astropic.net/astro/lovejoy_final_sf.jpg).

In hindsight there are a lot of things I did wrong both in the timelapses and this during this comet outing but I learnt a lot out of it and I should be ok for the next one now :)

That is not bad Marc. I like the nebula showing up in true colour too.

Hi Marc,

Great colour and detail. The tail is very clear.

Thanks.

Ross.
