Comet Lovejoy Animation

Took a set of frames (13) with the 300mm lens and 5DH this morning. Below is a full frame and here is an animated gif. Each frame was a 2min exposure at ISO 1600 with a 2minute gap between for ICNR. So the sequence is about 50 minutes. North is to the left.

Next time I will autoguide on the comet itself. I think there is a hint of a tail at 45 deg from horizontal to the right.
