Comet C 2014 Q2 (Lovejoy), 19 December 2014

            Here's Comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy), which is currently visible in the evening sky. This image, which was captured through gaps in the cloud from Warrill View, south west of Brisbane. I'm not convinced that I could see the comet with naked eye, but it was very easily found with my 7x50 binoculars. This untracked image is 11 x 3 second exposures (taken with a tripod-mounted Canon 6D and 70-200mm f/4L at f/4 and 12800 iso), stacked using DeepSkyStacker. The tail is faintly visible towards the top of the image.
