lovejoy still going on and on! 18th-19th

[Garyh]

Hi all,
Well here is my latest attempt of lovejoy near the LMC. Was hoping to get a shot at it sooner but the usual cloud/fog etc made it impossible.
But on the 18th it cleared up to a crystal clear evening,one of the clearest nights I have seen for some time. So on went the 24mm lens for a total of 28 exposures at 2-1/2 min exposures @ iso 1600.
Tried to push the image as much as I could. My focus was a little off but managed to get quiet deep!
Anyway here it is and keep em coming! there are still some lovely images coming in.
Clear skies everyone

Hi, Gary.

That's a good image!
Nice and deep you must have had very clear skies.

Thanks,
Justin.

Thanks Justin! The last few days have been super clear, great for going deep on Lovejoy.
Your images of lovejoy are very inspirational!
cheers

Great Photo Gary.

Although it will get harder to get a photo from now on it would be good to have a record of the best comet in our skys for many a moon.

Thanks Terry ( yeah I get the same thing, obsessive when anything exciting happens ex celestial events )
Thanks Trevor, Lester and JJJ.
Still makes a very interesting target!
Clouds back hopefully get another break before the moon returns
cheers Gary
