Details:
Captured comet Lovejoy with the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies, as well as the open cluster NGC 752. Images were captured with a non modified Canon T3i with Tamron 28-75mm lens at f/8, riding on top of a Meade LX200 16" classic. Exposures were 2 minutes long, only managed to get 12 good shots before the moon became a problem, and those 12 were stacked in PixInsight. M31 and M33 are perfectly aligned and seamlessly composited in from CCD images I have taken over the past year.
