Comet Lovejoy (C/2013 R1)

Comet Lovejoy (C/2013 R1) as seen near dawn on the night of 12 to 13 December 2013 (Geminid shower night - see previous and next picture!).

This is a composite of 77 light frames of 5s exposure (total: 6min25s), stacked in DeepSkyStacker. This was my first attempt at taking pictures to be stacked, and at the time I did not really know what I was doing, so I didn't shoot any dark, bias, or flat frames, making the postprocessing very tricky...

Canon EOS 70D ,Sigma 50-150mm F2.8 EX DC APO HSM
77 x 5s, 150mm, f/2.8, iso 10000 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
