Anyway, looks like I was able to get an image of the new Sungrazer comet (C/2012 E2) that appeared a few days ago. This was made very deep in twilight on March 10, using a Canon 350D + 70-200 2.8 lens set to 135mm f3.5 and combining 72 x 3.2sec ISO400 exposures. Possibly the must difficult comet observation I've ever attempted.

This is a terrific, terrific catch. It made me jump from my chair. Lucky for you it is a big chair or you would be at the end of an international lawsuit for injuries!
