Smile COMET McNAUGHT 20th Jan 2007 , the whole of it

Comet McNaught on the 20th January from Mt White. Who would have ever thought that it would be necessary to use a wideangle 28mm lens to capture the WHOLE tail of this comet. Most of the earlier images all used digital or telephoto shots. This wideangle shot resulted by fault as I was doing a panoramic image of the Hawkesbury river 600' below Mt White, 40kms north of Sydney city. ItF I had only known what lay hidden from naked sight Then would have got out old faithful best lens, 135mm, for a series of shots going northwards to assemble a collage. I Have one Pic, clear as anything, but just the top of the tail with no head of the Comet. anyhow here is the image on the 28mm wideangle.my " Heavenly Finger"
Sorry the image will not upload, try www.nsas.org.au media
