In Decemeber I asked if it was possible to post videos to the forum.... unfortunately it's not possible at present.

So I have to post a link.

Here it is!

This was shot last night at Magpie Mine in the Peak District. It was shot over almost 3 hours, and it is made up of 640 images.

Enjoy!

Out of interest, you posted some other shots recently with stacking. Did you use that here? I’m only guessing but does the comet move too quickly across the sky? What’s your thought process when to use it or not?
I did take a series of images over about a period of 90mins. This is a single image. I did try stacking but ended up with a long blotchy streak! I also tried a time lapse but it was to short. I am actually tempeted to go a lot higher on the iso and use a shorter shutter speed and do a time lapse of it moving... if the weather plays nice!!!

Thank you for all your nice words!!
