Comet McNaught swims in a night sky without setting in the horizon from today. Please give me enough sleeping time! |

The huge fan is visible far more than the naked eye can see in this 3 minute exposure with a Nikon D70s. |

I took this image from the backdoor step just after midnight. The comet was so bright I could see it through clouds from inside the house and the inside lights were still on. Photo details: Canon 1D Mrk2, 70-200 mm lens, f/2.8, 30sec exposure |

The comet was first spotted around 9:20pm local time (10:20UT) during twilight over the south-west. As the night progressed, the comet's tail became more visible to the crowd of around 100 at the Mt Dandenong Observation Deck. By 10:30pm it was spanning an estimated 20 degrees vertically over the night sky! Photo details: Canon EOS 400D, 50mm(80mm equiv.) at f2.8 4-30 sec ISO400 22/1/2007 9:44pm AEDT (10:44UT) |

Luckily the comet appeared over the darkest part of the sky where there were no background lights although being in a city there is a lot of scattered light. The orange glow has been partially removed although you can still see it towards the bottom of the image. |
