This timelapse of a clouded Comet Lovejoy was taken this morning, 24th December from just after 2am until about 4:30am.
I was there with my friends Andrew and Rod, and the cloud continued to tease us and never fully revealed the comet. It just sat right over the wrong spot! Very frustrating. But the timelapse turned out great

Star Rising Behind the Trees – Time Lapse at IISAC2009
Hi all On top of one of the hills facing South East at Lostock Scout Camp, there’s a row of 5 trees that really stand out. I always wanted to make them more of a focus of something photographic. I used them in my Raining Stars at Lostock image from IISAC2008, but it was a [...]
