Comet 2013 R1 (Lovejoy)

The conditions were difficult due to frequent rain showers and a thunderstorm towards the south -
in fact there were several flashes of lightning as I took these 3 sub exposures.
Normally I'd take more subs to reduce noise; hopefully I'll be able to image this comet again in better conditions over the next few weeks.

Modified EOS 600D,Celestron C8 telescope
3 x 4-minute exposures, ISO 1600, f/6.3.
Images registered and stacked on the comet (hence the trailed stars) using Deep Sky Stacker software. hide exif
