Hi

Here are another couple of wide fields of C 2006/P1 McNaught with a setting crescent Moon and Venus. Taken at 7:30pm from Whites Hill Reserve, Brisbane. Here is an inventory of stuff according to Starry Night Pro:

Sun: -9° 35’ altitude
Moon: +2°47’ altitude
Venus: +5° 50’ altitude. Mag -3.92
C 2006 P1: +5° 54’ altitude. Mag +1.01

Pentax *ist DS 18-50mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens.
Imaged at 39mm, F8, 6 secs at 200ASA.

Cheers

Dennis

PS - Great comet images Earth & First Light - we had a ball at the BAS BBQ last night, in spite of the car park lights! Loved your 400D Anne-Louise.
