Here is a couple of wide field (24mm) shots of the comet and a close up with the 80mm f6 meade at 480mm fl. The comet must be pretty low down south and the weather not favorable, but its all cameras and phones out atm in central Queensland.
Wow/
Really like the wide field with Venus partnering up alongside/
The close up is amazing also.
Well done/ keep them rolling in Rick/
It’s been a week of stormy weather in Melbourne and outer Vic, but will be waiting for our opportunity when it arrives.
Super impressive mate
Another set of very nice shots Rick. I really like the close up. You're right about the weather down here, I've travelled to two cloudouts this week and the prediction is for cloud for the next week. So keep the photos coming - it's all some of us will get.
Very nice shots indeed.
The close up is exceptional!
A friend in Arizona sent me some images he captured to try and clean up for him, a lot of noise from his light polluted locale and while I thought they were stunning they don't compare to yours (Photoshop RAW did wonders for the noise).
Cloud and rain locally too but today has been amazing, tonight may be suitable for some of us.
Thanks guys, I've had to go mobile to get pics of this comet but its now visible from my backyard so I'll have a go with the 10" newt, hopefully, seeing that the clouds are moving in for a few days. Hope you all get a look before it fades away.
Great set of shots Rick, the 3rd image shows the length of the tail nicely. a reminder of what we are missing out on down here. Can echo AstroTravellers sentiments about our clouds. Your images are almost inspiring me to have another try at viewing / imaging the comet tomorrow.
