Details:
Comet Lovejoy at 01:42 UT 2015 February 21, shown after its tail swept over M76, the Little Dumbbell nebula.
This image is a stack of five 100-second exposures at ISO6400, taken with a Canon 60Da through an 11-inch Celestron EdgeHD at F7. The field-of-view is 0.63 x 0.35 degrees. Atmospheric ice haze tonight caused a visible halo around the coma through binoculars at times, and also diminished tail brightness noticeably.
Sky conditions - Transparency: Fair-Good, Seeing: Fair, Temperature: -23C (with a wind chill of -37C).
