C/2017 E4 Lovejoy.

C/2017 E4 Lovejoy 24 March 2017 UT.
Geez Terry your sure can pick them!
E4 has brightened quickly around mag 9.5., The coma is asymmetric and very green. It is also showing a tail, see inset, single 45 sec exposure. I think the Northern hemiphere is going to have another good comet.

Cheers,
Justin.
