Anyway, my results are below and I am happy enough despite the light pollution and noise (I took the pictures at ISO 3200). I think you can actually make out the hint of tail towards the 10 O'clock position.

One Last Look at Comet Lovejoy C/2014 Q2
Whilst I had already obtained an image of Comet Lovejoy C/2014 Q2 with my 55-250mm lens, I decided that I wanted to see if I could also get something through my 127 Mak. Luckily, there was an hour of clear skies on the 18th January and so I set up my rig and got to work. After a fair bit of trial and error I decided that the best I could do with 25 second subs and that is what I went with along with ISO 3200. Even with the 25 second subs only about 3 from the 10 were usable due to my rather un-astrophtographic mount.
Anyway, my results are below and I am happy enough despite the light pollution and noise (I took the pictures at ISO 3200). I think you can actually make out the hint of tail towards the 10 O'clock position.
