Hi all,
Well here is my latest attempt of lovejoy near the LMC. Was hoping to get a shot at it sooner but the usual cloud/fog etc made it impossible.
But on the 18th it cleared up to a crystal clear evening,one of the clearest nights I have seen for some time. So on went the 24mm lens for a total of 28 exposures at 2-1/2 min exposures @ iso 1600.
Tried to push the image as much as I could. My focus was a little off but managed to get quiet deep!
Anyway here it is and keep em coming! there are still some lovely images coming in.:):):)
Clear skies everyone :thumbsup:
Gary

Great Photo Gary.

Although it will get harder to get a photo from now on it would be good to have a record of the best comet in our skys for many a moon.

Thanks Terry ( yeah I get the same thing, obsessive when anything exciting happens ex celestial events :) )
Thanks Trevor, Lester and JJJ.
Still makes a very interesting target!
Clouds back hopefully get another break before the moon returns
cheers Gary
