McNaught from the land of the long white cloud

And thank goodness that that long white cloud hasn't impeded this spectacle too much. If anything it is the smoke etc from you guys giving us less than perfect views.
Last night I used the FC100 Takahashi, and Canon 20D, plus an AP telecompressor. The image is good, but tonight I wanted to give some idea of the size and scale, so used the Canon 70-200L at about 70mm.
The tail really is great, and I just hope that next few nights are clear.
Get out and witness this event.
