The comet was very easy to pick up, and the coma appeared quite diffuse at x111. The strong greenish hue now seems to be much more subtle. Tail very hard to pick up visually.

Please find attached a drawing I made of comet Lovejoy last night. Although there was passing patchy cloud, transparency was very good. The distinctive greenish hue is still present, but it seemed to me that the bright nucleus was somewhat less well defined. Similarly I found the tail quite hard to see, and I was only able to pick up the start of it near the coma.

Please find attached two drawings I made of C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy on 16th January. Interestingly, the tail was much harder to see on the 16th, compared to the night of the 15th January. The greenish hue was still present, and the comet passed close to a field star during the course of the evening. There appeared to be some interesting structure within the coma (which seems very symmetrical, visually). Low powers seem to work well for this comet- the best view I had was just at x25.
I was able to see Lovejoy with the naked eye- quite something from the outskirts of a city!

Please find attached a quick drawing I made last night of comet Lovejoy. This is the first telescopic view I've had of the comet- such have the conditions in Leicester been! The weather last night was very uncooperative, with gales reaching respectable Jovian standards last night- but still the view was worth it. The comet was in Taurus which provided a number of nice background stars. There was a definite greenish hue present, and a thin tail was seen (but not easily so). Looks like conditions should be much better tonight, so I will hope for a better look this evening!

desperately cutting down vegetation in my neighbourfs garden to get low enough.

stages of non-linear stretch applied plus gradient/colour cast removal with
GradientXterminator plus noise removal with NeatImage.
Herefs also an inverted mono version of the same image stretched further to show
