As Chuck said, Lovejoy is getting to be pretty easy to find. I just spotted it with 10x50s and 11x80s. Oddly it was less obvious in the C-5, maybe because of it's f/11 focal ratio. I tried imaging it with the C14 but it's so bright that even a 3 second exposure saturated the chip so I thought I'd see what I could do with the tail. Here's a hastily thrown together mosaic-of-sorts made up of 3 one minute exposures. Very little attempt was made to make the final product look pretty rather I just wanted to see how far the tail stretches: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/lj2013nov12.jpg Total width is just over half a degree. I saw no sign of a tail optically but it's nice to know there's one there. I can't help but wonder if Mike has observed it with the 1.8m. Also can't help but wonder what Tyler could do with Lovejoy (that was a hint, Tyler <g> ). patrick
