Comet Lovejoy:The Show Has Just Begun – An Awe Inspiring Visitor from Deep Space Over Our Skies
Comet Lovejoy is now a naked eye object, the show has just begun
GREEN COMET IN BRIGHT MOONLIGHT: The visibility of Comet Lovejoy (C/2014 Q2) continues to improve. Currently shining at magnitude +5.0 underneath the feet of Orion, it is expected to more than double in brightness by mid-January 2015. This puts it just above the threshold for naked-eye visibility and allows photographers to record the comet using only a camera–no telescope required. http://spaceweather.com/
Observers should look for the comet passing through the constellation Lepus the Hare south of Orion. Consult these finder charts from Sky & Telescope. http://tinyurl.com/khp2bah
Comet Lovejoy has a marvelous pallette. The sinuous blue ion tail both contrasts and compliments the comet’s puffy green atmosphere. These colors come from ionized carbon monoxide (CO+) and diatomic carbon (C2), which glow blue and green, respectively, in the near-vacuum of interplanetary space.
it will brighten to magnitude 4.5 or even 4.0 in the first week of 2015,

The waxing moon is messing up the view right now and will continue to do that until about Jan 7, 2015. On that date, the moon will not rise until about an hour after twilight ends. That gives observers about an hour to get some dark sky views and images of the comet.
Even with a bright moon out, the comet’s coma is bright enough to easily show up in photographs, but only the close-in part of the extremely dim tail is visible through the moonlight. The dim portions are washed out. Here’s an image I took on New Year’s Eve that shows this:

Hello, InLikeFlint, we’ve had a spell from impending space doom lately, good to see you’re still about.
Have you heard anything about the aliens steering this comment, Flint? Or do you think that’ll come later? LOLOLOLOLOL!
LoL!!!
That was one of the reasons I came to BIN today – to look for those types or articles. I wanted a laugh. heheh.
Seriously, I’m surprised “they” haven’t yet claimed aliens were steering it or that it was going to break apart and target Earth like Comet ISON was supposed to. Usually, all the nut cases come crawling out spouting all kinds of BS when a bright, naked-eye comet is in the sky. I guess we should consider ourselves lucky.
Nothing to see here. Just a rock thrown at us by the BAD Aliens, and diverted by the GOOD Aliens.
And I’m sure you have some evidence to show us to back up this claim?
