Comet Lovejoy (C/2014 Q2).
Captured 13 January 2015, wow how time flies! This image is a stack of 20 images.
I used a Canon 6D, EF 200mm ƒ2.8L II lens and an iOptron Skytracker for this shot. The stacked version is a combination of 20 consecutive images.
12.3º Diagonal field of view (uncropped single frame).
20x36 seconds, ƒ4 and 3200 ISO.
No darks or other calibration frames.
I'm really looking forward to shooting some more deep sky objects over the coming weeks, Orion is always a goodie but I might try for some more unusual parts of the sky.
