Comet Lovejoy 20120102

Hi,
Boy, it's faint now. The comet is now clearing the neighbour's trees by a reasonable margin so I took these from my observatory. With the glow from Monash Uni I could not see the comet, unlike the previous morning when I could just make it out.

Anyway, the site is not quite as dark as where I planted myself for my previous photos, however at least I could guide! These are a median combine of 23 x 2min shots taken over a period of nearly 2hrs with my Canon 40D at 24mm F4 ISO800. The strip has been histogram stretched to tweek out some more detail.
Cheers,
Chris
