I was with the BAS at Whites Hill yesterday evening and used the clubs scope and astrovid to try to capture the comet. I'm not real sure of the details of what I did, but its roughly:-

2a.jpg - 50 frames stacked in Registax 4, from astrovid and 200mm LX200 f/10, 6 frame accumulation (I think thats how you would describe it), captured to Medion PMP. Stretched, Contrast bumped and brightness dropped in Registax.

3a.jpg - 100 or so frames stacked in Registax 4 from astrovid and 200mm LX200 f/10, 4 frame accumulation, captured to Medion PMP. Stretched, Contrast bumped and brightness dropped in Registax.

6a.jpg - 150 or so frames stacked in Registax 4, from astrovid and 200mm LX200 f/6 ,4 frame accumulation, captured to Medion PMP. Stretched relentlessly, Contrast bumped and brightness dropped in Registax

Interestion to note how the way the tail seems to be divided. I noticed it in binoculars on Thursday, and I'm glad the astrovid seems to have captured it as well.

BTW Welcome Jimbo, glad you could join after we met on the ridge near Algester. I looked up google earth and the lights straight down the road we were on was probably Forest Lake... Swanbank is further on in that direction.
