Another comet imaging night. Comet C/2012 S1 ISON was hidden by cloud so time was spent on the other three main comets in the sky, Lovejoy, Linear and Encke.  Lovejoy is high in the sky, but Linear and Encke are fairly low 

All the images on this page were taken at the SON@OSC observatory (Searchlight Observatory Network at the Observatorio Sierra Contraviesa).

The equipment used was the 4" Pentax F4 Refractor and the ST8 with LRGB filters.
