Thank you very much Dennis, it looks like I got the Tail but you got the Rack.
I really like you Chrysalis shots.

GREAT CAPTURE!
I see a little bit of the tail in your image in the post, but it's more evident in the download.
I was out with binox a few nights ago (boy was it cold) but I onjly saw a bright object in the general direction. It must have been Lovejoy but the binox I was using weren't tripod mounted so I relly couldn't tell.

Thanks. The deer was standing just off my driveway in Colorado. Nothing like that around here unfortunately.
I get to SM occasionally. If you are interested I will send you a PM and possibly we could meet for a cup of coffee to discuss photography.

Wow too cool, I have been thinking of getting a camera capable telescope, but man they can cost a left ARM. Great capture and patience.

Yes I did, I get a an Astronomy email notice everyday about current and upcoming Astro events. Plus I belong to a club, VAAS, at the Vandenberg AFB. One member is a Professor at the local collage, another built all of the Telescopes at the Air Base.
