The morning zodiacal light in December 2013 from the Painted Pony Resort, New Mexico, looking east at 5:00 am December 6, 2013. Taken with the 14mm Rokinon lens at f/2.8 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600 for a stack of 5 x 2m15s exposures, tracked on the iOptron SkyTracker. Mars is above centre and Saturn is just rising over the mountain ridge. Comet Lovejoy C/2013 R1 is at far left. The image includes the position (left of centre, above the mountains left of the Zodiacal Light) where Comet ISON (C/2012 S2) would have been had it survived passage around the Sun.
