Comet C/2014 Q2 (LOVEJOY) - 31 dec. 2014

Image of comet C/2014 Q2 (LOVEJOY), taken from BRIXIIS Observatory, Kruibeke Belgium with strong moonlight, high humidity and comet on 16 degrees altitude with a 0.4-m f/3.8 AG16 Orion Optics telescop and Clear filter - camera SBIG STL6303 - image and data by Erik Bryssinck

Af(rho) versus aperture radius (in km) - I-Bessel filter

Visual observation report:

Comet observed with a 16x50 binocular: comet pretty fast found in the neighbourhood of Hipparcos 23362 with magnitude 4.91. I found the comet with DC of about 4, but could not get a magnitude due the very low altitude, smog and disturbing moonlight
