Comet Lovejoy (C/2014 Q2)

Nothing spectacular with this shot, just testing out if I could image it with the full moon hanging around, shot from our driveway in Auckland.

 

Canon EOS 600D

EF200mm f/2.8L II USM + 2x extender

ƒ/6.3 | 400mm | 10 seconds | 1600 ISO

 

100 x 10 second exposures (alignment was pretty average on the tracker so was trailing at 15 seconds). Had no idea where the tail would be but can see it faintly now even with that bright moon hanging about...
