Comet Imaging Session - January 7, 2015

The sky this evening is partly cloudy but lots of sky openings for me and my son KC to try to observe and image Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy. It was hard to image the comet as the city lights and Waning Gibbous Moon is interfering a bit so I was only able to image a 20 second exposure of the comet at ISO 3200 at prime focus of WO Megrez 90FD refractor through Canon EOS 500D DSLR. It was a good father and son quality time as I explain the difference of comet and stars to him in layman terms and he was excited as well to get a view of the comet through the finderscope as well as through the camera live view screen. :)
