Lovejoy, M45 with a D800 and polarie (yes - another..)

Friday night I set up the Polarie with the D800 Nikon and a 180mm f2.8 prime lens and let it go while Barry and I enjoyed a rare clear sky through our dobs.
Here's the result with the usual comet aligned and star aligned combination in pixinsight, and also the comet-aligned stack. There's some exquisite structure in the tail, and it seems the 180mm lens was a bit too long!
I've stuck a high res version on flickr with that annoying red background cast removed.

cheers, and thanks for looking
Andrew
