Hi,

This image of comet Lovejoy shows it is developing well, lovely tail and brightening fast.
I managed a glimpse visually before clouds spoiled the party. very diffuse coma and well defined core easily visible in 50mm finder.

Equipment used.
8” F/4 astrograph , baader type 3 coma corrector,. HEQ Pro 5 mount, orion mini guider.
Camera.
Unmodded Cannon 1100D.


Cheers,

Justin.
