December 26th, 2014. It was the first day of a trip in Iceland. Just few hours after landing I've seen the best nothern light of the week. This very impressive mountain is Kirkjufell, it means "mountain-church". I was very lucky to shot the aurora just as it took the same shape as the mountain ! Few seconds before or after it was not the same.
I took this image with the new Sony Alpha 7s that is realy very sensitive : its has a big sensor with only 12 millions pixels, and the readout noise is very low.

Comet Lovejoy (C/2014 Q2) and the Pleiades.
It was a clear evening without humidity. Perfect to observe the comet with the Pleiades. Firstly I took photos with my newton telescope (8-inch, f/5). The other image was taken by an Asahi Pentax Super Takumar 1,4/50 lens. Image by newton: 32x30 sec, ISO1600. Image by Asahi Pentax lens: 12x1 min. at f/4, ISO1600. Camera: Canon EOS 400D. Mount: EQ-5. Unfortunately clouds appeared on the sky during taking photos and this fact was the end of the observation.

On 23 December 2014, 15P and Mars were only 1/6th of a degree apart in the sky after sunset. But by 23 December 2014 the comet had dimmed considerably since the outburst.
