Orion with Comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy)

[rogerg]

Hi all,

On the 27th I took some snaps of Comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) with Orion when it was high at the zenith. For fun I used my small 40mm pancake lens, turned out OK although far from perfect.

10x120s @ 3200ISO, F/4.

I took 26x120s but haven't achieved a good result from the full stack yet.

Well Done Roger! The tail is very noticeable even in such a wide angle.
