*sigh* it's a Saturday night and looks to be a lovely clear night tonight, and if hubby and I weren't sick right now, it'd certainly be well worth the trip out that way to Lake Mooggerah, but right now, being out there in the cold, isn't such a great idea .
I'll give the comet a go at 30 secs like you did and see how it turns out.
Hi Susy

Sorry to hear of your collective ailments – hope you both get better soon!

Yesterday (Fri 17th July) we were brutalised by the cruel westerlies, hammering us at Wivenhoe Dam, but were lucky to find a clump of trees that offered some welcome protection.

I was using a Skywatcher Star Adventurer, roughly polar aligned using a compass and protractor so I was able to extend the exposures to 30 secs with the 50mm lens at ISO3200, F5.6.

Good luck for tonight!

Cheers

Dennis
