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

Even without the comet #2 is nice.
Regards Colin

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.

very nice! I tried to spot it but we had clouds in the western skies. I suppose I'll have to wait until I'm 100 or something to see haylies comet now

Virgs, well this is a good couple of shots and well eve though i couldnt believe you dragged us up to freeze our asses off to look at a lil dot in the sky that we could just barely see.LOL

Nah was good as i had never been up there before and it can only gett better over then next few days.
Thanks to Blair as well and glad we had some one who new what to look for.

This comet will be around for a while so dont fret if you miss it tonight.. John, coming from the south how can you even dream that last night was cold? Oh well I will see you and Fozzie tonight and we will do it all again and it will be brighter and have better contrast!!!
