C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) - Stack on comet

            14 30-second exposures taken at ISO 1600 with a Nikon D40 at prime focus of a Celestron NexStar 102 SLT refractor. Stacked on Lovejoy's position.

I fiddle with the coordinates in the FITS files produced by the astrometry.net solver to nudge each photo exactly opposite to the comet's motion (as per MPC's CometEls.txt orbital elements).

It's a pitty I had to stop the run short because the telescope was starting to get all covered with frost. I'll have to try again later.
