Comet Lovejoy on 24th December 2011
Click image above to view full size
This morning was clear and provided some great shots of the comet Lovejoy. As it rises slightly earlier each day I am getting slightly better data.

This shot is a stack of the 4 that showed the most of the comet before it entered too much pre-dawn light.

It's become obvious that I need to now widen the FOV a bit, probably take the lens out to 20mm tomorrow.
