A decent clear spell for a change. There was some very high altitude faint, hazy cloud which spoilt the opportunity for capturing the comet's tails but I am quite pleased with this attempt.

Technical details are: Registax stack of 6 images processed with Adobe Photoshop CS. 4 images were 60sec, f/4.2, fl=71mm, ISO 400; 1 image was 60sec, f/4.2, fl=71mm, ISO 800; 1 image was 30sec, f/4.2, fl=71mm, ISO 800 using a Nikon Coolpix 5700 piggy-backed to my motorised EQ1 mount.

Cheers from Bonnie Scotland
