C/2014 Q1 PanStarrs and C/2013 US10 Catalina.

Hi,

Finally some clear skies!!

C/2014 Q1 PanStarrs was taken Saturday 8/8/15.
It was good to get more than few minutes between clouds.. This image is a total of 15 x 2 minute subs at ISO 1600 thorough 8" astrograph unmodded Canon 1100D.

C/2013 US10 Catalina. was taken 7/8/15.
Had trouble stacking the imges in DSS, there were so many small stars close to the comet it just wouldn't register properly.
I used registax 5 instead, showing the dust and ion tail quite well.

Cheers,

Justin.
