Comet Lovejoy Take II
Well, here it is! I took my final image of Comet Lovejoy last night. Total exposure time was an hour under crystal clear skies. Camera was Canon 1100D, scope was Orion ST80. I'm really happy with this one; glad I was able to get one more shot at it, this time in an non moonlit sky.

Thanks! This one sure is a treat in binos- this is my second comet, my first being PanStarrs in '13. Wasn't able to see the tail but I could definitely pick it out naked eye. It's worth a try with any equipment you might have!

Tail and color-nice! Just went out last night and checked it out w/the binocs,looked like a floating cotton ball (could make out a bit of tail). Just barely visible unaided w/averted vision. Good job, Marc
