Thanks for the comet news...something to look out for!

Yep, I've no real idea how tiny, faint it'll be (forecast 8th mag-ish) or if it'll have much of a tail for people with equipment less than Damian Peach's shot from last week but we can always hope. It'll also thread the gap between the SMC and 47 Tucanae at the end of this month too.

Thanks Mike, it is an excellent sharp lens, would definitely recommend it. Though I took about five hours of slightly out-of-focus shots on the last night in Coona just to pull me back to reality after taking some peachy shots earlier in the week. Though that was less traumatic than the entire evening of shots in JPEG only mode...

I think you do your great photo a little disservice there, you could fit half a dozen of your star images into each one of mine, but thanks , I can't complain!
