December’s weather has been horrible.  For the last 10 days it has been wet and cold and too cloudy to shoot any images of any comets.  Finally, it cleared enough to get out.  Unfortunately, while it was clear initially, clouds moved in before I could get a good amount of sub-images of Comet Lovejoy.  I did get 21 of them, so at least I did not scratch.

Below is the star streaks version of the data, with a few clouds for good measure.  LoL.  🙂
