A bit more Love n joy

[BenDavis]

Took this of Lovejoy last night. Got a bit more of the tail now but I think that's the comet improving rather than me!

As always any advice taken!

1Hr ish LRGB

MN190+383L+

DSS (felt like 6 hours) + PS

Very nice, I think the whole thing is getting brighter, looks like there were a lot of clear skies last night

I note that your image is a 1hr exposure.  Does the comet stay in the same position for that period?

I tried imaging it last night and within a space of less than half an hour I managed to get two comets when stacked in DSS.

I must be doing something wrong

By the way, that photo looks awesome!

Thanks! Yeah I had lots of issues with dss, I think that's normal with comets!?

I used the mount for tracking, no guiding this time. The images from dss all had star trails (as that's the best I could get, I think love joy moves too fast to obtain otherwise!?) which I used PS to remove and then I added a single sub of 60seconds to give the stationary stars for the background.

Hope that helps/makes sense!?

Great image, I was wondering about the lack of star trails, but you explained it well.

"which I used PS to remove and then I added a single sub of 60seconds to give the stationary stars for the background."

I guided my subs (2 mins for what it was worth) and I think that DSS has stacked the stars rather than the comet.

I might have another try when the comet gets nearer the sun and develops more of a tail.
