Details:
Here is my wide field (85mm) shot of Comet Lovejoy R1 from Saturday morning at JBSPO in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The Comet was 2.5 degrees South East of 3rd magnitude Star 65 Delta Herculis....Easily visible in Binoculars, looks awesome through any telescope, even telephotos lens capture it well,...but it is very low on the horizon and you only have about an 1 hour of viewing before the light of Dawn sets in!!!!
Comet Lovejoy 2013 R1 tail is about 2.5 degrees long in this image, the brightest star in the photo is 3rd magnitude 65 Delta Hurculis. The comet is hovering around 5.5 magnitude.
This is my single 3.5 minute exposure with a Modified(Baader) Canon 40D & a Canon 85mm Lens, set to F5.6, and @ ISO 800.
