Quick Comet Lovejoy Pics

Finally back from a long trip...clouds in Seattle and Florida kept me from getting good opportunities to see and photograph Comet Lovejoy (I saw it from Florida, but the light pollution kept me from getting great pics). Back in Tucson and got some tonight. Here they are...all with a Canon 60D on an iOptron Skytracker. Various exposure times and focal lengths.

I also was visited by some javelinas tonight. Had my thermal camera with me.

The thermal camera picks up infrared radiation. You can see at the bottom several animals walking by...those are javelinas, a nasty small pig-like animal. In this image, brighter colors correspond to higher temperatures.

My mistake. I thought you wrote "juveniles."
