Comet Lovejoy
Here is the latest image I took of comet Lovejoy (C2014 Q2) on January 16, 2015. Instead of at prime focus of my telescope, this image was taken with a Canon 50D and Tamron 18-270mm telephoto lens set at 200mm and f6.3. Although the comet was high in the SSW sky, the light pollution and the fact that I wanted to be able to capture the faint tail conspired against me a bit. I pushed the ISO value on the camera to 1600 which added significant noise to the image. However, I processed it the best I could in PixInsight and PSP and managed to finally image the tail rather well.
