Some great images there guys of the comet, I've been surprised at how visually green it is through the eyepiece, it's very obvious.
looking forward to hunting it down again over the weekend

Bad luck Aubrey, clear skies here in Limerick. Just for the record, snapped a widefield pic of closest approach, in strong moonlight and M34 thrown in top-left for good measure. Lovejoy on fringes of naked-eye visibility and 2° tail still traceable before moonrise

Great image, Fermidox. I must observe M34 sometime. Lovely green hue form Lovejoy. It is not too often we get a conjunction and a beautiful double star.
