Comet Lovejoy in the Morning

A spectacular photo I captured of Comet C/2013 R1 Lovejoy this morning. Comet Lovejoy has been maintaining a nice level of brightness and is forming quite a sexy tail. Lovejoy was easily naked eye visible and is in the constellation Bootes. I captured this photo at Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, Rhode Island, USA.
