Comet Lovejoy (C/2014 Q2) at upper right near the Pleiades, with its long blue ion tail stretching back to the left past the Pleiades. This wide-angle shot takes in a wide sweep from Orion at bottom left up to Auriga and Perseus at top. At centre is Taurus and the Taurus Dark Clouds of interstellar dust. Some high haze drifiting through added natural star glows but also some sky gradient tints. . (Photo by: Alan Dyer /VW PICS/UIG)
