Re: Possible daylight comet for Jan 2007 - my pics

Here are a couple of photos taken this evening (around 5pm) with my Kodak DX6490. They're 5 separate 7/10 of a second shots @ 80 ISO overlaid in PhotoShop. The second one has a slight tweak to the contrast and brightness.

Comet 2006 P1 McNaught

Comet 2006 P1 McNaught (brightness/contrast tweak)

I really must get a camera that doesn't twitter about trying to focus on infinity using edge detection. Still, better than nothing.

It's an impressive sight in binoculars.

Oh, and here's our local source of light pollution - Stonehenge Golf Driving Range on Larkhill.
