Reader Krishan Kara sent me these marvellous shots of comet C/2012 S1 ISON and C/2013 R1 Lovejoy, taken on November 19 in Brisbane (note that he holds the copyright on these images, so please ask if you want to copy or use them). The most amazing thing about these shots is that they are unguided! Great work Krishan..
