Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy

            This is my first time imaging a comet through a telescope. What a beautiful comet! Besides imaging and observing it with a telescope, I also viewed it with binoculars. I could detect it naked eye as a smudge to the right of the Pleiades. 

Taken with a TMB92L, Hutech-modified Canon T3i DSLR, Orion SSAG autoguider and 50mm guidescope, and Celestron AVX mount. Consists of 23 90-second light frames and 23 90-second dark frames, all at ISO 800, as well as 23 flat and 53 bias frames. Captured with BackyardEOS, stacked in DeepSkyStacker, and processed in Photoshop.
