Comet C/2013 R1 Lovejoy 28/10

Had a good night last night with 4 different targets and my first ever photographic comet was one of them.
I wasn't planning on it but as it rose above the house I figured if I aim at Procyon and to the left I might find it as I couldn't see it visually in bins or on a single sub but when I stacked it I had just got it up in the top left of picture.
At least now I know where it is so I can centre it properly and cut Procyon out if I try again.

Quite happy with that.

Taken with the 450D and dodgy 75-300mm lens at 300mm,, I forget how many but it's a heap of stacked 30 second exposures at ISO 1600, f/9.0
