Comet Lovejoy (C/2014 Q2) at upper right near the Pleiades, with its long blue ion tail stretching back to the left past the Pleiades. This wide-angle shot takes in a wide sweep from Orion at bottom left up to Auriga and Perseus at top. At centre is Taurus and the Taurus Dark Clouds of interstellar dust. Some high haze drifiting through added natural star glows but also some sky gradient tints. This is a stack of 9 x 2 minute exposures at f/2.8 with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600, on the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer tracker. Taken from City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico, January 18, 2015.
