Sunset Lake Macquarie 11/11/2007 with the moon and Jupiter

[h0ughy]

Well I be buggered, the clouds cleared as if God waived his pinkie and they all disappeared. it was the first "clear" afternoon for many months, so after feeding the family I asked permission to go and take some happy sunset snappies. i was going to have a go for comet leonos but I couldn't find the rotten thing. Came home and just looked up SNP and found out I was looking at it all along - pity its not very bright so those who have great shots of this comet you deserve a huge pat on the back for your efforts.

Widefields done with f2.8 20-40 sigma lens on the pentax k10D the close up of the moon with the 200mm F2.8 on the canon 400D. both on a fixed tripod

[h0ughy]

one note to all - those widefield shots you see are not all the same some have the thin crescent moon.
