It cleared up this morning nicely. The Moon was a bit bright, but 13 and 15
second exposures were enough to capture Lovejoy. After about 20 minutes, dew
set in on the corrector plate and it was nearing sunrise, so I didn't bother to
plug in the hair dryer. The temp was a cool 27 degrees. The core is a bit
blurred as I used 32 frames to stack. The comet moves a lot in 8 minutes.
Several small galaxies can be seen throughout the picture. Even with the short
exposures. I couldn't get M63 in the same frame. It was just a bit too far away
to frame it in the 14" with the comet.
