Bitter Lemmon [Groan]

Bitter because I managed one test shot before the clouds rolled in. Here it is anyway:

60s Iso200 (not sure why!) with a 650d on the 14" LX200 @ F2

Now its pouring again, the garden is a jungle already, bitter, me?!...

Not bad for one shot. Very good contrast.
I think I can see a hint of tail at about 11 o'clock???

Thanks Guys, an yes John there was signs of a nice long tail at 11, which is one of the reasons I was particularly frustrated at getting a single shot and at the wrong ISO. The clouds over Brisbane have settled in nicely now.

With any luck, it will still be about when the clouds disappear!

Need a better grab and go scope, Jonathan. Great for a single shot.

You need to move further west. Clear skies here. (or were last I looked)
A lovely shot!!

AHHH! Don't tell me that Nettie! I'd head out your way, but Allan recons my scope isn't worthy of such sky

(Just wait until it's on my new EQ8

)

Grr. Burnt out core. I am a hopeless astrophotographer

Now that's really nice Jonathan, got the tail as well. Soon you will be writing the book.

Hey Allan, more likely to be writing a cheque for beter equipment...

I learnt to comet track on DSS, but still am fighting with PS6! Never mind, i'll settle for this one. I really must take some flats!
