With all the hype about Comet ISON going on over the past 2 days, we still have a very nice comet to look at that is putting on just as good a show – Comet Lovejoy.  Here’s how it looked the morning after Thanksgiving Day with a 200mm F/2.8 telephoto lens mounted on a simple equatorial tracking mount.    I used 2 light pollution filters for this since I had to shoot towards a very bright LP dome from a metropolitan area to my northeast.  It was a test and it seems to have worked beautifully.   Next time,  I’ll try this with the camera on my bigger mount and track the comet with much longer exposures.
