New year treat: Comet Lovejoy (C/2014 Q2)

[TomK]

I know what you mean, Jon. When I saw the night sky on my first visit to Hawaii it was utterly confusing. I knew it would look different but everything was tipped over sideways and it took a while to re-orientate my brain. Now, when I go back to the UK, it looks strange there as well - that's when you can see stars in the UK.

Surprised you got to see the sky that much in the Seattle area...
