Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Daytime comet

Postby Big V on Mon Jan 15, 2007 2:05 am

Now this is a rare sight - comet mcnaught is visible during the daytime and over the next few nights after sunset should put on a great show in the south west sky.. This is not technically an impressive photo but the subject matter is history as it is easily the brightest comet for well over a decade.. make sure you go out and have a look!!
This one taken in the arvo with a 400mm and 2x on it..

later in the evening..
Image yes that is cloud at the bottom, taken from mt lofty with the 400mm

I'm really looking forward to getting a look at this one. I do need to get a mount for the Telescope.

Second photo is really good, took me a little while to find the comet though ;)

Big V - I would like to thank you and Blair for last night experience at Mount Lofty. Believe it or not, but I can now see the comet in the sunset shots. BTW: Great captures.
