Comet Lovejoy Bright & now has a tail!!!!
Taken by John Chumack on October 26, 2013 @
Comet Lovejoy 2013 R1 is getting spectacular currently at 9th magnitude ....I found it has developed a faint long tail this morning....it is at least 12 arc minutes in length and the Comets Coma is now around 6 arc minutes in diameter.
This is a 60 minute exposure (30 x 2 minute subs) tracking on the comets Nucleus on 10-26-2013 from 07:23 U.T until 08:30 U.T.
QHY8 cooled Color CCD Camera & my Homemade 16" diameter F4.5 Fork Mounted Newtonian Reflector Scope.
This Comet was the 4th Comet Discovered by Terry Lovejoy!! So glad to see his new bright Comet starting to put on a nice show!!!
