And yet another M45 & Comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy)

[StuartJPP]

Still processing these, but really struggling and I have had to use some synthetic flats. Details by clicking on the images but basically AstroTrac + Canon 70-200mm f/4 L IS lens. Thanks for looking.

Canon 70-200mm @ 135mm full frame.

The one with the Pleiades is stunning.  I hadn't realised just how long the tail was.

A treat. The more wide field stuff I see the more I appreciate it.

[Pete Presland]

The tail is probably the longest i have seen and the widefields really do it full justice!

[cfpendock]

Superb image showing the length of the tail.

Spot on mate picked it up on Flickr! the other day but looks even better on here...

What method did you use to remove the stars? It's been very effective

The first shot with M45 is a real stonker!  Great stuff!

[Alien 13]

Breathtaking shot and it looks as though the tail is even longer than captured.

I know it's not a competition but the best widefield ive seen of Lovejoy yet.

Well done.

This is superb. Makes me want to take up imaging - except I know I wouldn't get anything that good.

Nice image with both the Pleiades and the lovejoy in. Tail looks great.

Many thanks for the comments everyone...

I used CometAlignment in PixInsight to register and then median combination in ImageIntegration with sigma clipping for pixel rejection. DSS just keeps on crashing on me these days so I don't use it anymore...(even the latest beta version).

I know it's not a competition but the best widefield ive seen of Lovejoy yet.
Well done.

I only compete against myself to try to get a better image than my previous attempt...
