Awesome shot! Did you take this shot in the evening 1901? I thought you could only see lovejoy in the morning

Yes, this image was made at 7:01 pm local time. At present, Lovejoy sets in the NNW in the early evening and rises in the NNE in the early morning hours. Stellarium will give you exact numbers for your location.
