dgdg (aka David) gave me a fantastic introduction to real astrophotography and amazingly generously allowed me to use his Polarie Vixen to do my first tracking images. Thanks David!

It was a lot of fun, but our eastern skies did not cooperate much -- seemed like a lot of low atmospheric moisture really bumped up our already high/normal amount of light pollution, killing any real chance at a good look Lovejoy's tail (can't say that with a completely straight face -- sounds like a James Bond/Austin Powers character, no? ;-)

In any case here is my first try at this -- with a really painfully tortured PS stack to try and bring out as much of the nice angular forked tail as possible.

If you had fun and learned, then getting a decent looking image (which you did) is a bonus.
