Description:
Comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) is at its brightest, therefore it's easily visible with your unaided eyes in the constellation Taurus the Bull. With bare eyes it resembles M44 only brighter. With my telescope it reveals many details in its curvy tail which I can follow for about 2 degrees. The head or coma of the comet is oval, or a little bit egg shaped. The core is bright, looks like an out-of-focus star. Just beautiful! The sketch is a mosaic of about two fields.
