A widefield view of Comet Lovejoy C2014/Q2 moving through star fields on the borders of constellations Eridanus and Taurus. The base image was obtained from our backyard on the 10th January 2015.

| Taken with my Canon 600D DSLR with a telephoto lens at f=300mm. all on a driven mount. The image is the result of many image frames stacked using DeepSkystacker software. The nucleus detail is enhanced by adding in data obtained through my telescope. |

| A reworking of data obtained on the 6th of January 2015, showing more detail around the nucleus and the base of the tail. |
