Comet Lovejoy, above and to the right of Orion

If you're familiar with the constellation Orion, shown in this picture, Comet Lovejoy (the blue-green fuzzy dot with faint white tail) can be found above and to the right of Orion over the next week or two. Comet Lovejoy will move up in the sky a bit more each night.

This photo of Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy was captured two nights ago facing the eastern horizon at 7:21 pm, January 7, 2014. It's a vertical crop from a landscape orientation shot captured at a wide 24 mm focal length.
