This comet is going to give us all a lot of joy!

Great shot. How long was the exposure? ISO? F number?

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Love these wide fields. They show the comet in all it's magnificence.

Very nice view, thanks Greg.

Love the pun Justin.

[Liz]

Great image there Greg, love the Milky Way view.

[Matt Wastell (Matt)]

Yeah a beauty!
I am becoming more depressed the longer we have clouds here!

[Ric]

That's a ripper widefield Greg, well done.

I'm in the same boat as Matt, these clouds are verging on the point of irritating.

How big a laser do we need to punch a hole big enough to fit the whole tail into? Can anyone afford the power bill?

We've had one cloud free Fri/Sat/Sun night in the last 3 months, and that was taken up by the family Xmas gathering.

What a great image.

Thank you so much for the great feedback everyone I'm sorry to hear that a few of you have so far lucked out with the clouds. Fingers crossed you get a view soon. I have another early morning planned looking at the forecast. I think I will just sleep next year....

...oh and love the pun too Justin
