[BAA Comets] C/2013 R1 Lovejoy images 20131112

[DENIS BUCZYNSKI]

Hello all,
I imaged this comet with narrow and wide field instruments last night and these images are placed on the BAA Comet Gallery at the links below. This comet is now very well placed for observation from Northern Hemisphere observatories and has developed into a naked eye object with a large coma. Imaging reveals a two distinct straight gas tails. A very nice object for imaging and viewing. Terry certainly lived up to his name and brought us joy when he discovered this comet.
