Moon has little effect

Hi All

It seems that the moon, although fairly bright has little effect on the Comet.

Although faded out by the moon, the camera brought it up well

Canon 5D, 135mm F/2.0L Lens, 5 sec's expo.

Even planes like to have a look

Cheers Leon

Top shots Leon.

Yep, your right. It's still bright at my place too despite the Moon.

If you look at my Comet video I linked to, there is a plane leaving the same lights trail as yours in one of the frames

Yours is much brighter though.

Heres the frame:

Great pics. Lucky you underlined the comet in the second one. I would have missed it otherwise.

Hey Ken, yes i saw that plane as well, but by the time it got close to the Comet it circled back, nice shooting Ken.

Cheers Leon
