PANSTARRS and LEMMON in twilight

[rogerg]

G'day all,

I had a great evening photographing these two comets.

Both photographed with Canon 100-400L @ 400mm F/5.6 on 7D @ 1600ISO.

Wide field shot was 8-15 F/4L fisheye @ 400ISO 13sec on 7D.

Enjoy!

Nice work Roger. Where are they in the sky now, low in the west? If it ever stops raining / being cloudy here I may get to see them yet.

Unbelievable! I need this rain to stop so I can get out there.

Thanks: )The camera is looking more or less West. PANSTARRS is very low in the WSW, LEMMON is higher, in the SW.



Thanks! I hope the weather improves for you Mike :)

Lucky we have a large country thanks for the shots the weather looks bad for the whole weekend over here.

Yes ... my BOSS colleagues in Queensland remind me regularly how lucky I am to have clear skies. I tell them it could be the other way around in a week's time, you all on the east have clear skies and we don't .... but I don't think they are believing me anymore ...

Here's hoping for better luck next week for you!

Nice catch of those two visitors Roger. Been away for quite a while but back home for 1 night so will be interesting to see what turns up.

Nice catch Roger!
I haven't seen PANSTARRS yet but I plan to look for it in the coming days if the weather permits.
