Description

Skies cleared unexpectedly tonight and afforded me a great opportunity to capture Comet Lovejoy as its structure continues to get more interesting.

Taken at 8:25PM MST using lens at f/4.5.

Version "B" is a minimal post-processed image that perhaps better reveals the extent and structure of the tail.

Final has extra enhancement for the tail but at the blotting of the coma.
