Astrophotography by Eddie Guscott

Comet Swan on 1 November with Tak Mewlon 210 and ST2000 CCD camera. Bright moonlight makes visibility of the tail very difficult.

Comet Swan on 30 October. A bright first quarter Moon is making visibility of the tail difficult. However I managed some images from my local dark sky site at Dengie Marshes (despite a lot of cloud - note the gaps in the star trails). Imaged with ST2000 camera and Tak FS60 refractor.

Comet Swan on 26 October. Still very bright. This was from my garden - ST2000 and little 60mm Tak FS60 refractor.

Comet Swan on 24 October during a remarkable increase in brightness. The picture is a mosaic of 3 separate images combined to try and show the extent of the tail. ST2000 camera and 130mm f/6 TMB refractor.
