Description

This time I was able to photograph comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy for a whole 15 minutes before clouds came! But that 15 minutes was enough to make a six frame mosaic and take some extra frames for stacking.

I'm not too happy with the evenness of the background, but it's 4:30 am here and I need some sleep.

Mosaic of six 30 second exposures made with Canon EOS 6D and EF 100/2.0 lens @ f/2.8.
