Welcome to IIS!

Thank you for the welcome and comments on the photographs.
The foreground was illuminated with fill flash from an off camera flash unit. In the first shot (as displayed here,) the battery in the camera was going flat. It died at the end of the noise reduction frame - so I never had the opportunity to review it until about an hour later - only to find it's sprinkled with hot pixels! grr (and it was about a 1km walk up there - and back of course)
I have some other shots of the comet on flickr (link is below) but the couple posted here I think were my best ones.
Thanks again for the welcome, I'm a similar story to a few other new members here - always been interested in this sort of thing, but I wasn't aware of IIS until recently.
Hopefully most of the new people here stick around longer than this comet will.
(great site btw!)
Regards,
Michael
