Details:
I thought that I'd provide raw images of Lovejoy over the 6 straight days that I had perfect skies. The images (left to right) are from the 5th to the 10th. I tried to scale and calibrate contrast for all images to the same values. The shortened 1st image (left) was the result of a very short window before moonrise. Otherwise, most daily images were of about 50 to 60 minutes in duration. Lovejoy's tail seemed to get longer though the period as did its coma brightness. All images were taken with 180mm lens.

Thanks for your excellent timeline documentation of Comet Lovejoy over a several day period. You have produced a very useful barometer of the visual changing of the comet over a nearly week period. This speaks volumes over any single image.

I must say that I have been doing the same multiple image collages for years. Its just good sense and good use to show so much more in one compilation image collage.

Thanks again for posting and all your excellent technical written texts,

Mark Seibod, Artist-Astronomer, Portland/Sandy Oregon
