Thanks Guys, if it was only a clearer night, probably could have got all of that tail in, maybe tomorrow.

Well captured Leon, it was really bright tonight and the tail was much more visible.

Excellent picture Leon. Well done indeed.

Great Leon, fantastic that you had some clear sky. Sadly we had wall to wall cloud.

[RB]

That is Fantastic :eyepop: Leon.
Wow look at the tail on that thing !!!

Great shot.

[leon]

I agree Guys, it sure was a sight to behold, shame it isnt much higher and in dark skies, boy would that tail glow.

Cheers leon

Hi Leon, The spot is good and has a great view it's just been a case of first the smoke haze then it was the clouds, last night was a thunderstorm and cloud cover (no rain).
So far today it's heavy cloud cover again.

Cheers

[leon]

Yea Ric there is thick clouds here today as well, hopefully it will clear a bit by tonight, even if it is patchy one can still take an image in the bright spots, I hope.......Good Luck for tonight Ric.

Cheers leon

wow thats awesome... does it look like that to the naked eye or was this on high zoom?

Complete cloud cover again here tonight, although it's clearing overhead now... a bit late though... anyone know of an anti-cloud dance?

[Ric]

Hi Leon, blotted out again by a thunderstorm and rain. :mad2:

It's official, now I'm getting desperate :lol:
I'm running out of time.

Cheers

[leon]

Yes it dose look very bright BLITZWING, but a little zoom dose help it for sure.
and Ric, that's a bummer, it's totally clouded here to mate, yea, and time is running out

Cheers leon

[ballaratdragons]

and I still haven't seen it!!!!!

Leon, I think that is the best pic of McNaught I have seen from anyone anywhere in the world. The tail is soooo looooong!

Excellent mate :thumbsup:

That's one worth blowing up and framing :)

[erick]

Friday night - please, please PLEASE - from Snake Valley! I'm still planing to be there, Ken, with friend. :)

[janoskiss]

Holy cosmos, Leon! That is excellent! And look at that long tail! :eyepop:
I wish I could see the comet. :(

[BLiTZWiNG]

Yeah and I was complaining about how Starry Night 5 made the comet tail appear so long... now I see it wasn't lying!!

[leon]

Thanks Guys, it had a lot to do with Alice, she told me to hang in there the clouds will part, and they did for a short time.

It's a bugger when the missus is always right :whistle:

Cheers Leon :thumbsup:
