Hi all, tonight was the first chance I have had to try for comet Lovejoy since the 17th March. The sky was clear with good transperancey. As the comet moves further into Orion there is a lot of faint nebula which makes finding the comet impossible. I took 15x8 minute exposures with astro 40D at ISO 800 and Astrograph.
The first image has a red X at the ephemeris position of the comet.
