C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) 2014-12-24

Comet Lovejoy from Gordonbrook 2014-12-24.

The first image is L300Bin1 RGB@180Bin2. This is using star alignment as the comet didn't move much over the timeframe.

The second image is a sigma-clipped average stack of 6 x 300 seconds luminance binned 2x2. The tail structure is seen more clearly in the second image.

I still haven't been able to see it naked eye (SQM reading 21.5 on that night). I think it's hidden in the light pollution of Kingaroy 10km to the southeast.
