Comet C/2013 R1 Lovejoy closest to earth

Via Flickr:
While the celebrated comet ISON is difficult to see because it is low on the horizon and so close to sunrise, comet Lovejoy (good name!) shines above our heads in Ursa major. It can easily be seen with binoculars even during the full moon and is a hit with a telescope.
The photo results from processing 30 two minutes LRGB shots taken between 3h16 and 4h32 UT on November 20th.
Telescope C11-HD reduced at F7 and STXL camera binned 3x3 and cooled at -35°C
