Taken tonight at 8.15pm using an Olympus point and shoot at 18x zoom. The camera was perched on the top rung of a 6ft step ladder, and held in place by hand. Exposure was 6 seconds at f5.6.
I took about 20 shots this way and just hoped one would be reasonable!
Nowhere near the quality of other peoples images, but I was just happy to get something.
Thanks for looking

Nice try Laurie. You need to increase the exposure level a bit. I've adjusted it to show you.. hope you don't mind. There's lots of freeware programs out there that would easily do it for you. I must admit I'm jealous of you being able to see it as I've got a flaming great gum tree in the way. Guess I'll have to wait for the next one.
Cheers
Stephen

That's a good result under difficult circumstances laurie!

One question though, why didn't you use your canon 1100D?

Cheers,

Justin.

Nice one Laurie - glad you got to see it. If your other shots are similar then you could stack them

Cheers,

Tom

Thanks Justin-I didn't want to risk sitting the 1100D on top of a ladder with concrete underneath!

Thanks Andrew and Tom

+1 for effort!

Where is this comet in the sky? I have tried 2 nights trying to image it but couldn't find it. I think its too low for my area which has the Blue Mountains to the west fairly close.

Is it SW and about 7 degrees up?

I got eaten by mossies last night trying to find it!

Thanks Greg
Last night it was low in the western sky, visible from about 8.00pm and gone(for me) by 8.30pm
