Decided to image, with the 8" astrograph, and I'm glad I did!
Comet lemmon's tail is spectacular, showing more disruption to the tail.
I also did a 85mm wide field on the tail, the image is cropped, but shows at least 8 degree's of very wobbly tail.
Only managed one reasonable image of panstarrs with the 8". Lot's of driting cloud low on the horizon, although it may make a good animation as i have plenty of frames.
You're Comet Man for sure Justin, nice captures.
What exposure lengths are we talking here? I tried some Panstaars the other night and shot 30 seconds, but the sky was quite dark as well.
Lemmon really is producing a nice display.

Great shots Justin I was wondering what happened to Lemmon's tail. Saw it last night from south WA and the tail was much dimmer than the previous night.

Thanks Gary!
My exposure times were 120 sec each for Lemmon, and 60 sec each for panstarrs at iso 800 and 3200.
