Details:
on dec. 12 , I was on a very dark site and Lovejoy was hard to see to unaided eyes, appear as a dim star. In binoculars 10X50 , it reveal a dim tail but photographicaly , it shows it's best side ;) It was very cold at -32°C ( -26F ) no winds. My electronic cable release died after 5 minutes , a chance that I had a manual one ;) I still have pain on finger tips !! photo details : #1- Canon 1D Mark III , 70-200mm @ 145mm f4 , 3 frames = 6 min. 15sec , Astrotrac #2 - Canon 1D Mark III , 400mm f5,6 , 3 frames = 8 min. 37sec. , Astrotrac
