Comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) @ 54 mm

Comet Lovjoy moving through Taurus and passing by the Pleiades, as seen from central France on the evening of 12 January 2015. My Sigma 50-150 is not the sharpest near the edges at f/2.8, but the softness near the Pleiades is hard to explain for me (the lens didn´t dew up, of that I´m sure).
