Hi, I managed to capture a potentially very nice shot of comet Lovejoy over table mountain on the morning of the 30th of december, the initial image suffered badly from light pollution (first attachment), the DBE tool in pixinsight managed to sort that out (second attachment) but as you can see I am unfortunately a little lacking in luminance information, stretching does bring things out a bit more but at the cost of ramping up the noise as well :(

I was wondering if anyone had taken an image of lovejoy at about the same time that they would be willing to let me combine with my image?

Joint credit would of course be given.
