Pleiades and Lovejoy

I had a bit of luck last night getting this photo. Yesterday (yesternight?) was the comets closest approach to the Pleiades but it was too cloudy to go. Last night looked better so I went out to Rose Valley for a look. There was a fair amount of slow moving high clouds but the area I wanted was clear. I was happy for that because it could have gone the other way.

 

Since this picture was a wider angle image I used a better lens. The quality was higher. I also used lower ISO and Bulb mode, triggered with an IR remote. This worked well.

 

Cheers.
