Comet McNaught (2006/P1) - 18th January 2007

Hi All,

Well today I learned a very important lesson, keep your batteries charged.

I had almost given up with the clouds, but then I thought what the heck and went out again and again and again.. till finally the comet descended out of the clouds like a long finger pointing to where the sun had set tail slightly bent.

I got one good snap of the 17 I took, before my batteries gave out. But then I just enjoyed it with my 10x50 binos. The long bending tail that earlier was straight. I guess this indicates its motion around the Sun.

Regards
Fahim
