Comet above prospect park ;)

Found the Comet Lovejoy last night from a dark spot inside Prospect Park to escape the terrible light glare.

Its not depicted in the picture on the link but is a blurry greenish smudge due to light and atmospheric dirt pollution. ( the darker and cleaner the sky , the tail would be seen). Nevertheless great to find it. Right now comet going up and right of the constellation Orion.
