What a great capture on your part! Lovejoys Tail passing over M76 is a definite photo op winner!

Congratulations!

*It also appears that you photo-stitched a large composite to get the entire visible tail. Very nice technical work!

Thanks for posting this, and I think it should also go to NASAs Astronomy Picture of the Day or other Internet venues of scientific interest.

*PS: I meant to ask what mount and drive that you used for your excellent equatorial tracking.

Thanks for any further info,
