Lovejoy barely visible naked eye tonight. Estimate magnitude 5.2.
Tail has widened considerably since yesterday.
I've provide contrast shots included an inverted image for comparison.
This is my 6th clear night in a row photographing Lovejoy. There will be a 24 hour break tomorrow but clear skies expected then through Saturday night.
