Beautifully caught sir ,

I've been waiting for an age to shoot the same picture but find myself laid up with a crocked back so missed it . . . typical . . .

[spider72]

Thanks Steve. I've been lucky with this shot as it was longer gap in the clouds tonight, just after I have finished it started to rain.

Fantastic pic Maciek, I was in Caithness (Reiss) last weekend 28 - 31 March, and could make out both objects naked eye,

Best skies I`ve observed under

Thanks Lorne, that was shot from Noss Head, just 2-3 miles from Reiss.

Lovely image Maciek. I hope to get another chance to image the comet again this evening.

Have you seen a chiropractor? Worked wanders for my back a few years ago. I visit every now and then just to keep it on the straight and narrow. Not had a significant problem with it since.

Thanks for sharing your picture with us, not seen the comet yet, still hoping for that elusive break in the clouds.

[spider72]

Thanks fondofchips. I wish you luck with the comet although you will probably need a binoculars to spot it. Here we have quite dark skies so I was still able to see it with a naked eye last night.

Could you give us a clue in your setup - iso & exposure length etc?

Here's what I got with my canon eos 60Da with a series of about 8 3min subs at iso800 using an old canon zoom 70-210 (at 210mm) stacked in nebulosity.

[spider72]

No problem Splint UK.

It's 10 exposures 60 sec. each + 6 dark frames, all shot with Canon 7D, ISO 6400, Sigma zoom lens 70-300mm, set to 200mm f/5.0, camera on alt-az goto mount.

Final picture stacked with DeepSkyStacker software with finishing processing in Lightroom 4.4.

My shot became picture of the day on earthsky.org http://earthsky.org/todays-image/last-nights-galaxy-and-comet-rendezvous

They have over 170.00 followers on FB, so I feel quite popular at the moment, ha, ha

Superb photo. Well composed. I haven't seen that much detail in the comet on any other images.
