Comet Lovejoy 30th December 2011

Hi all, Still dodging cloud here to get views of this wonderful comet, had to pack up at 4 a.m unfortunately as it was rising to maximum elevation before dawn breaks. This image is a 2 minute exposure with Canon 20Da at ISO 800 and 24mm lens at F3.2, tracked.

Although fading the comet is still easily visible to the naked eye with tail rising up parallel to the Milky Way.
