A rubbish shot of comet Lovejoy

The bright, moonlit sky washed out the comet. There's a faint hint of the tail out to the left of the coma.

120x 5 second images with 6" F/5 Newt and Nikon D5100 with IDAS LPF.

Hi Cam
I saw it through my binos about two weeks ago. It's been cloudy ever since!

Blame the Moon. It's not a bad pic considering.

It's been cloudy since the 28th here.
