Comet Lovejoy

[Tom Narwid]

Comet was visible in November 2013. It was discovered in 2011 by Australian astronomer Terry Lovejoy.
This image was recorded in 2013 in November when it was near the Big Dipper. Sorry all tech info lost forever.

Very cool Tom! Ever since we had Comet Neowise I have been more curious about comets and trying to capture them. I know depending on the angle they won't all have huge tails too. So it's great to see this one, its reminding me that when I next get out to look to see if I can capture a comet too, I know we still have some out there, we just don't really talk about it.

Neat image. Will this one ever get to an angle where the tail is more visible?

Not sure about that. It is periodic so maybe.

Jim,
Usually they do not get a big play unless they become visible..

A very different view of a comet. Thanks for sharing Tom.

Nicely done.

Great stuff - comet imaging is tricky, but the results are often very cool. Like this one!
