The shot was at 8:46 pm. The head of the comet set before 9pm.
Here thanks Suzy. I love the LX5 for this reason, it captures things as you see them. ''''
While DSLR's can be useful in a clinical way, a lot of images are "overcooked" with respect to the extent they are processed to highlight things that are simply not visible to the naked eye, and they lead many people to have unreal expectations that lead to disappointment when they see the real thing.
For example last night at Blackheath there were others who had come to see the comet who has seen astrophotos on APOD of the milky way and the magellanic clouds, yet were clearly very underwhelmed when I pointed these out in the sky - on a very clear night.
