Great stuff Luigi, Lester & Rob.
It looked like being a stunner of a night at sunset last night (16th) but bands of visible cirrus scrolled across the sky parallel to the line of the comet's tail. I could trace it well in my 10 x 50 bino's, but proximity to the LMC meant I couldn't say for sure either way if I could see it with the unaided-eye.
Did some shots with my newly acquired 450D but I had a few technical issues I hope to have the chance to remedy tonight. My widest field currently is on my old Nikon F film camera. I took a couple of 15 minute exposures on some Fuji Superia 1600 that has been sitting in the fridge since McNaught was in the sky five years ago! Checked out the film package and found out it was the official film for the FIFA World Cup in Germany, 2006! I'll do a few more tonight and then process it tomorrow. I'll keep you posted on how it all comes out.
Cheers
Coops
