Description

A - Another attempt at the comet, but the skies here in the UK are really teasing at best :-(. Tonight never really cleared, so despite shooting for 2 hours most subs were ruined by high misty cloud. This is from 15 of 60 x 1 minute subs when Lovejoy was transiting.

B - Rework of the last 15 subs from 2 hours data (when seeing was at its best) using a medium combine method in ImagesPlus software to create separate 'coma' and 'stars' images before recombining them using Merge Split mode to achieve an improved fixed stars image of the comet.
