C/2011 R1 McNaught,C/2012 F6 Lemmon,C/2011 L4 PANSTARRS.

Hi,

Thought i'd add to the growing collection of comet images.

All taken 20/01/2013.

Comet lemmon continues to impress, I'm sure it's irish it's so green!
Must be building up for St Patricks day.

R1 Mc Naught I've imaged several times during the year, it's certainly faded. Guide 8 has it mag 12.9, think it's fainter than that.
Still showing a faint tail.

Panstarrs is coming along nicely, does'nt seem to be much change in the tail from the last time I imaged it.

Here's a link to Michael Mattiazzo's comet page for more info.

8" f/4 astrograph, orion mini guider, HEQ Pro 5 mount.

Unmodded canon 1100D baader coma corrector.

2 minute subs at iso 800, total 6 minutes for each, Median stack in DSS, processed in PS 7.
Cropped image.

Cheers,

Justin.
