Comet Lovejoy C/2014 Q2 captured last night up at Warkworth, I had a bit of trouble getting my polar alignment right last night, after a lot of effort I realised I had the sky guider switched to half speed mode, a real rookie mistake to make! lol, anyway by the time I got it sorted Comet Lovejoy was already quite low in the sky, so I set about capturing as many subs as I could before it got too low to image, this image is made up from 20 x 25 sec exposures captured with a Canon 60Da at ISO3200 through a Canon 200 mm lens set at f/3.2, stacked in DSS with 22 dark frames subtracted for calibration, final processing was completed in Photoshop CS5, image was also cropped and rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
