Hi all,
Yes I’ve been awe struck by the comet recently having a few goes and trying to firstly locate it, secondly to time it correctly before it dissolves into the sunlight but third time I had prepared well enough with the help of my mate Mickoid to catch this heavenly visitor.
This modest shot was taken at Kangaroo Ground yesterday early morning with my modded Canon 60D using IR filter at 90mm F5.6 / 4” exposure.

It was hidden amongst the low cloud before revealing itself just in the nick of time hehehe.
I’m wrapped to have captured it again after spotting it during winter this year.
Cheers:)

Nice captures, it's defiantly a hard one to get with such a short window of opportunity.

Nice ones Anthony, see, you were better off on your own! The only morning I decided not to go, you took these beauties. Looks like you took that first one of the tower after the camera and tripod fell over. :lol:
