Tried to capture comet Lovejoy better by travel to little bit darker skies, went to Riala 70km north of Stockholm. I could easily see the comet without optics but it was very difficult to capture the tail.
I tried to use a narrowband filter against the lightpollution in the south and this shot shows Lovejoy to the right, the great nebula NGC1499 and the open cluster M45 in the middle, to the left you can see some more nebulae in Auriga.

Showing comet Lovejoy to my son
Me and my son went out to see comet Lovejoy, the goal was to see it without any optics.
We found it very easy with binoculars but it took a while before we managed to see it without any optics but we did! Like a fuzzy star down right of M45.
Unfortenaly we live only 30km north of Stockholm and the lightpollution in the south destroyed seom of the view but it was great being with my
son doing another photosession.
A faint tail is visible in the photo.

Another night with Northern lights in Vallentuna
Aurora Borealis in moonlight from P-M Hedén on Vimeo.
Despite heavy moonlight from the Wolfmoon I could enjoy Northern lights as far south as Vallentuna Stockholm...again.
