Hi all

New Southern Comet! (C/2007 E2 Lovejoy)

2007 is shaping up to be a great year for Comets downunder! Our very own forum member Terry Lovejoy (CometGuy) discovered this new comet, his first discovery, on March 15th using his digital SLR camera! C/2007 E2 Lovejoy is expected to reach 7th magnitude in late April - not naked eye visibility, but still a great photographic target for those with the right equipment.

As always, keep up-to-date with the latest news and images of Comet Lovejoy on the IceInSpace Forum.

• Maps and Charts (thanks Ian Musgrave)

Terry's own images (including the discovery set) can be seen on his website.
