Thanks Odille.

For this shot I was using a 70-300mm telephoto at 70mm, but you will be able to use 300mm tonight (as I did in the newer thread started this morning) because the comet is closer to Saturn. Exposure times etc depend a bit on the camera, but I would try a range of about 6-20 sec with the aperture fully open (e.g. f/4.5-5.6), and sensitivity set at 1600 iso or thereabouts. Just try a few shots with these settings in mind and adjust as you go along.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Cheers,
Stephen
