Comet C/2011 L4 PANSTARRS

Here's a couple of images taken from Mount Dandenong in Melbourne tonight.

It's amazing to see how well they came out even with horrendous smog and light pollution.

I was able to see the nucleus clearly with the naked eye, and could make out a small part of the tail.

Camera: Canon 50D
Lens: 70-200f4L
ISO: 1600
Exposure: 2.5 - 3.2s
