Comet Lovejoy C/2014 Q2 from Border Ranges New South Wales Australia 22 Dec 2014
Comet Lovejoy looking spectacular for Xmas now with a nice bright tail.
I was surprised to see the small horizontal fuzzy blur under the comet a distant Dwarf Galaxy NGC2188 32.5 Million Light Years away and very dim at Magnitude 12. Making it the dimmest most distant object I have ever photographed!
