Or if a group of us is together imaging the same comet, at the same location, with the same foreground, and if someone wanted to be narky, they could stop you from using your own photograph because their exif info showed they took their shot first , therefore they have copy right.

no only if you do something "Arty" to the image to make it "your own" just an image is just an image.... work on it, add things to it and its yours, copy the work put in (or the thought of what would make the image arty) and your in the poo. In your example yes if you shifted the comet image to include, say, the moon. You cant have copyright on something anyone can see.
