@@stephencarter9192not too many air miles (just the Indonesia trip) but certainly a few road miles 🤔. Fortunately I have a few like minded astro buddies who I'm able to share many trips.
It's reassuring to know I wasn't the only photographer who suffered from cloud attacks! I appreciate that you don't only show your successful outings, Greg, and I almost let out a little cheer for you each time you have a fruitful session.
Great video Greg and highlights the hurdles we all face chasing the stars...and comets in this case. Nice to see you were rewarded with some fantastic images 😊
@@inefekt Thanks Trev, capturing the night sky certainly presents a unique set of challenges but as I'm sure you'll agree, the rewards keep us coming back for more.
All beautiful shots Greg. My fovourite is the timelapse at the lake Clifton with the comet the MW and the clouds movement. Congratulation for the music that give breath at the video.
Thanks Massimo, I'm enjoying having an extra camera body - means more opportunities for timelapses. We seem to have had a lot of cloud towards the eve of this season. They add some challenges but also some interest.
Great to see a new video from you! 🙂I have a bit of a hard time finding opportunities to get out there myself at the moment so I have to enjoy the night sky through other people. That´s some serious dedication chasing the comet all those nights!
@@MartinFransson Thanks Martin, I've slowed down a bit the last month too - the summer months are more challenging in the southern hemisphere with short nights but I do enjoy getting out to shoot in just shirt sleaves 👌
Wow, that was 100% worth persevering, Greg. Awesome stuff. I was going to say I loved the pano with he comet by the walkway. And then I was going to say how much I loved the timelapse of the comet setting behind the lighthouse. And then you went for the full KO with that pano of the comet, MW and lighthouse - I think that may have been my favourite image seen anywhere of the comet. Amazing stuff- thanks for sharing.
Nice one❤. I love the dedication. I tried twice - I disturbed a tramp on a bridge and was foiled by clouds the first time. Seccond attempt i got it, with a 'thrilling' foreground of hay bales... Maybe next time, eh? 🤔🤣
Oh, by the way - wy are you not using the 3-way geared head instead of the wedge and then just a normal ball head on top? Would be lighter, right? Only asking since I´m considering a similar setup myself.
@@MartinFransson Yes, a normal ball head would be considerably lighter than the 3 way geared head but I love the geared head for panos. For each focal length I know how many turns of the dial, horizontal and vertical, to get the 30% overlap. I've noticed Leofoto have a geared head which is nearly half the weight - but quite pricy.
Beautiful work Greg. I really do admire your persistence my friend.
@@nightscapeimages.richard Thanks Richard, I wasn't going to let it defeat me 😂
Nice set of images and great video Greg
@@ViratShah Thanks Virat, was fun having something different to shoot
I admire your dedication for getting some great images
@@stephencarter9192 Thanks Stephen, think I got a bit obsessed for a while 😂
@ indeed. I dread to think how many km and air miles you’ve clocked up this year.

@@dougingram4519 Thanks Doug, appreciate the moral support 😊. Persistence was definitely required with this one.

You got the shots in the end Greg. Well done. 😎

Hi Greg, I admire your persistence with capturing the comet! I have struggled to get out lately! Great images mate!
@@nightscapeodyssey.mattclarke Thanks Matt, I think we might all be catching our breathe at this time of year.

@@nightscapejournals Thanks so much Paul, I had to play the long game to deliver that KO 😂
Looks great Greg. Kicking myself for waiting for evening shots only. Happy with what I got but looks like I missed out on some great opportunities.
@@MrJomoboy I only got the one morning opportunity but glad I grabbed it, definitely seemed brighter than the outbound journey.
Nice one❤. I love the dedication.

@@JauneMacReady Glad you got it the second time, people initially laughed at Van Gogh and his hay bails 🤔🤣
