See, that's what happens when you reprocess  ;)

QuoteAny ideas what the fuzzy bit is just down at the bottom

Just below the comet ?
Looks like a fuzzy star trail

Thanks John & Mike. The fuzzy is a galaxy NGC5772 in Bootes. Not sure if the comet details are real or artifact but looks interesting like a shock wave. I'll try another reprocess :pooter:

A couple of good images Jim!

Pacman has come out really well, though it needs sigma stacking to get rid of the hot pixels.

Lovejoy looks great.  I'm surprised you managed 3min subs without blurring - I suppose it is not moving across the sky as fast as ISON was.  Very nicely processed to bring out that "bow wave" effect!  I agree the background is too black though.

Well done.

Thanks Mark. I lied; 30 sec subs!!
