Catalina and Arcturus convergence New Years Morning

[Leveye]

While I wait to capture some star field shots to merge all my comet data with here's a single 300 second frame of the convergence at 5.a.m. here over the coast. Hope you had a chance to at least view it. Amazing thing looking through my 800mm Newt. Look up!

Fantastic capture! Very nice natural looking image with good colour contrast between the comet and Arcturus.

Many thanks.  So worth getting up at 3 a.m. Best of New Years and a 2016 to you and yours!

Lovely image. I only wish for a clear sky so that I might view it for myself.

Very nice image. I got up to see this but there was too much hazy cloud to see the comet unfortunately

[Leveye]

Hope It clears up for you all. It was amazing to see through my 800mm newt with a 14mm Meade eyepiece/ The perfect combination

Nice shot.  I managed to see it through my 100mm ED refractor new year's morning from about 4.30am to 6.00am, lovely and frosty.

As in your image, the contrast of Arcturus and the comet was really beautiful.
