Comet 2007 E2 (Lovejoy) early thismorning

[tornado33]

Hi all
I was using my Meade "Cometracker" 6 inch F3.6 schmidt newtonian, doing an all nighter when Comet 2007 E2 (Lovejoy) rose from behind the garage. So why not use the Coemtracker to get a comet
3x5 mins ISO200, no filters at all to get full spectrum from comet. Modded 350D camera, MPCC used. Hand guided. Images aligned on comet rather then stars. Processed as usual in Iris and Ps

Good work, Scott

Is this comet brightening or has it already peaked?

Nice one Scott, still showing a nice green colour, although I expect this to remain that way throughout its period.

Very nice Scott, it's turning into a lovely photographic object. The green colour is fantastic.

Cheers
