My second attempt.
There was 37 hectares of backburning today which has left a haze over the southern parts of Canberra.
This haze has helped in this image taken just prior to civil twilight by deepening the colours naturally.
The comet headed towards the horizon very, very quickly and was lost in the haze on the horizon. I also noticed that it is losing brightness, and, the tail isn't as visible as it was just 3 days ago.
Stymied, yet again!
In case you're wondering about the teleconverter used and the fact that I didn't need it for this shot, it was on just in case for a tighter framing. In hindsight, I should have moved and got the comet closer to Telstra Tower. But, you live and learn, eh?
