Details:
on dec. 12 , I was on a very dark site and Lovejoy was hard to see to unaided eyes, appear as a dim star. In binoculars 10X50 , it reveal a dim tail but photographicaly , it shows it's best side ;)
It was very cold at -32°C ( -26F ) no winds.
My electronic cable release died after 5 minutes , a chance that I had a manual one ;) I still have pain on finger tips !!
