Comet Lovejoy very faint Jan 12.

Was cool and very clear last night. Comet Lovejoy is now very faint, Id say well below the surface brightness of the surrounds of the Horsehead Nebula.

Image is 10x5 mins ISO200. 300mm f2.8 lens from Bert @f3.5. UV/IR filter. Modded 350D. A coolish 18 degrees for midsummer early evening.

I think the Comet Lovejoy show is just about over as it heads off for the cold of deep space.
