My Offering of Lovejoy C/2014 Q2 last night.

[Dave]

Taken with my Nikon D5100 through an ED80.

The second monochrome image shows the movement of the tail material away from the coma after a period of 3 hours.

Nice detail. What exposures did you use?

[Pete Presland]

Very nice Dave, the tail showing very nicely!

[Mr Spock]

Nice image - lovely colour and you got the tail

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Very nice. A lot better than my attempt between clouds

[Singlin]

Fantastic!

[andrew63]

Great images indeed.  I wonder if the tail will develop as it heads towards the sun ?

[sharkmelley]

Excellent detail in that - well done!

The tail certainly seems to change quite rapidly.

Theres been some very nice comet images of late. This is certainly up there with the best.

I used 2 minutes subs, ISO 1000.
HUTEC IDAS Light pollution filter.
PHD was used to auto-guide on the comet itself.
In total I took over 70 subs.

I couldn't stack all subs together as the tail changed too much throughout that time.

So I stacked 20 each to produce the two individual images used for the monochrome image.

I will re-visit this when I get time and produce 3 images and see what changes there were at this time.

Looking forward to the next clear night indeed.

Cracking image Dave.

[kenny k]

Very nice images Dave,thanks for sharing.

[Stardust]

very nice image and like the colour. When I stacked in DSS to get both stars and comet it produces a mono image, either of the other stack options produce a colour image?

[si@nite]

Lovely shot Dave great colour!

[Qualia]

Wow. Beautiful image; sharp and very detailed. The tail is spectacular. Thank you for sharing this, Dave
