Comet Bressi C/2012 T5 and Lemmon C/2012 F6

Hi all.
On last Thursday night it was a first for me, imaging 2 comets one after the other.
First is Comet Bressi C/2012 T5, sinking low in the SW twilight near Fomalhaut. Small but with a well developed tail. 6x5 mins
Then onto Comet lemmon 5x5 mins
Both taken with the aptly named "Cometracker" 6 inch F3.6 SN. I also used the LPS filter and Berts Parracor coma corrector.

Last pic was taken previous night using the 300mm f2.8 lens from Bert, stopped down to f3.5, a longer run at 28x5 mins and only uv/ir filter

Cheers
Scott
