Hi Asod! Last night I woke up at 5.00am to observe Comet Lovejoy. I couldn’t see it with naked eye (I think because I observed from city), but it was very bright! I observed it at 90x and 42x and this was the best magnification; nucleus was very compact and more bright than tail. It’s the first comet I’ve ever seen, just wonderful!
Object Name: C/2013 R1 Lovejoy

Thanks for the great sketch. Your work has given me the push to go back and look at it again now!

Cindy is correct, this is a very fine comet sketch.
