What a sight.

Hi all

No dont worry, no more images of Comet NcNaught, but i would just like to say that last night was probably the only decent night we have had around here to actually view the Comet.

And was it splendid, i took about 50 images, but, although good pic's, i wont bore you any more, i'm sure you have all seen enough.

Just wanted to comment on the wonderful views we had last night.

Cheers Leon

Ah what the heck, this was my effort last night

Nice shot.

I'm in McNaught Rehab at the moment. Recovering slowly from last week and in denial that it is still around.

Great shot Leon!

Viewed it for the first time at Lostock on the Thursday night and have been viewing it every night since.

I just can't get enough of it. You'll need one of those funny white wagons to cart me off when it does it's finale.

Leon, what a magnificent shot mate !

We're not sick of McNaught so post away !

The comet won't be here forever and like Johnny (xstream) said,
"You'll need one of those funny white wagons to cart us off when it does it's finale."

Thanks Guys,

Yes i hope to go out again to night, only have to travel about two minutes up the road toward Kens place in Snake Valley, crystal clear dark skies not a light in sight.

Cheers Leon
