Comet Lovejoy C/2014 Q2
At the time I captured the spectrum I did not have the Alpy guiding unit so the location of the spectrum on the comet is unknown. At Olivier's suggestion I have corrected the spectrum for the response of the Atik camera and as he predicted the near-UV cyangogen emission line is incredibly intense!
Cheers

Hi Hugh,
Strange coincidence, I thought I'd make my first post to this forum today as well!
That is a really nice spectrum of Lovejoy.
See you around,
Andy
