A few wonderful clear nights last week has certainly inspired some of the members of http://www.brecklandastro.org.uk/ including myself. With an unfortunate position of a neighbours rooftop I have to wait until midnight to get a glimpse of the now rapidly departing Comet PANSTARRS. Still sporting a lovely fan like tail again I have managed to collect an hours worth of images. I don't know if it's me or Deepsky stacker. I just cannot seem to get the nucleus right. HIP379 looks amazing with a Star Spikes Pro effect.

Finally.......
The weather has been unkind, the neighbours wall and roof unmovable, these are just two of the annoyances to a backyard astronomer like myself. This is the first image I have taken of comet Pan Starrs. As it moves further north it also fades in brightness. With a wonderful fan like tail still a wonderful sight through a wide field scope like mine. It cleared the roof structure at around 11.00 pm and I set about with a few 1 minute frames to stack. I am pleased with the result. I was gutted that I missed the opportunity to capture it with the beautiful Andromeda galaxy. Unlike a couple of my fellow bloggers. Andrew for starters at http://blog.andrewluck.me.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Final.jpg Dr Dan's http://farawaythings.blogspot.co.uk/Fantastic result gents. I am a bit disappointed that there is no second point of interest in the image, on the other hand just happy to get a decent enough image to publish.
