Comet Lovejoy 27/12, much fainter, tail ~25deg

After sleeping through my alarm on boxing day, which was clear morning, I was hoping to catch the comet again today before it faded too much. I had to wait for the cold front cloud to clear after 4am, but then it was nice and clear, although the sky was brightening by then.
This is a 71 sec exposure, I have some others which I'll work on later, and they'll all appear on http://astro.gunagulla.com
