Comet Lovejoy Buzzes past the Pleiades M45!!!

The Bright Comet Lovejoy C/2104 Q2 was cruising past the Open Star Cluster M45 “Pleiades” aka  “The Seven Sisters” Star Cluster!

 

What a wonderful view last night, the comet was amazingly bright in Binoculars!  If you own Binoculars, get out and look at this bright comet!!!!

 

I watched & captured it on 01-15-2015 around 8:00pm from my observatories at JBSPO in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

 

I captured this image with my Canon 6D DSLR & 105 mm Lens, F5.0, ISO 800, on a CG-4 Tracking Mount.

14 x 180 second exposures stacked in Deep Sky Stacker.

 42 minutes total.

 

Best Regards,

I met Jason Silva because he quoted me. His 3-minute raps and rants and spoken word performances are so over-the-top and hyped on ideas that I find these poems level me up.

My advice, watch only one per day.

I saw Michel Petrucciani in concert at Yoshi’s, many years ago.  It was an accident; I was there to see a guitarist who was top of the bill.

Jim Hall, I think.  

By chance, again, we were wandering the Père Lachaise Cemetery  in Paris a couple of years ago, and I stumbled onto his grave.  Youtube has some of his music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUxQLU_eqfU

I recently got a new telephoto lens that I have been dying to try on comet Lovejoy.  The weather has not been cooperating.  But last night I could make out Jupiter through the clouds, and got this shot.  I like the tiny little moons…(you may need to embiggen the picture to see them).
