Comet Lulin enters Cancer (5th March)

[Andrew*]

Tried again on this as I had more time. when I got it on the frame I wasn't even sure if it was the comet - the tail's almost disappeared!

I should have gone for 30 sec exposures because the comet moves in 90 secs. So this is 37.5 minutes of 90 secs (26 frames) at ISO 800. A bit messy with the "bumpy" and broken stars:icon_confused: Ach well, live and learn.

Nice one.

Hey, that's what it's all about, learning.

And hopefully in life we never stop learning.

Well, I don't! Maybe it's because I'm so slow at it?

Nice to see it progress tracked by yourself and others. I guess tonight and Friday may be the last chance to get a reasonable shot, before a combination of it moving away and the Moon spoils it all

Nice work mate.

Hopefully clear sky's round my way tonight, just to be able to see it would be nice!!
