Details:
Before the marine layer came in at the coast and cut off viewing I thought I'd catch a quick wide angle image or two of C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) even though the light dome of the Los Angeles - Orange County basin was drastically limiting viewing to mag 2 or 3. No tail visible even with binocs. My EXIF data are off by 1 hour because I've not set my camera back to Pacific Standard Time yet - sorry! Actual time was 19:18 not 20:18.
