A Blast from the Past

Reworked data of Comet Lovejoy - 127mm Meade Refractor an Canon 600D DSLR - Reworked by Pip Stakkert - Jodrell Plank Observatory.

" Bad weather - particularly high level cloud - has prevented any imaging at the Jodrell Plank Observatory.  As the 'Observatory Team' was getting bored our CEO - Ronald Clump organised an impromptu 'Public Open day at the Observatory' -  all was going well until he asked Pip Stakkert our Imaging Team Leader to do the 'Kiddies' Face Painting'. There may be no 'I' in team but there are usually two in 'face painting'  Inorder to de-escalate tension I asked Pip to re-work some old data and this morning he came up with this rather nice image of Comet Lovejoy sporting a feline long tail".
