Comet
McNaught swims in a night sky without setting in the horizon
from today. Please give me enough sleeping time! |

The
huge fan is visible far more than the naked eye can see
in this 3 minute exposure with a Nikon
D70s. |

Despite
the city glow, McNaught's comet was clearly visible to the
unaided eye.

I
took this image from the backdoor step just after midnight.
The comet was so bright I could see it through clouds from
inside the house and the inside lights were still on.

The
comet was first spotted around 9:20pm local time (10:20UT)
during twilight over the south-west. As the night progressed,
the comet's tail became more visible to the crowd of around
100 at the Mt Dandenong Observation Deck. By 10:30pm it
was spanning an estimated 20 degrees vertically over the
night sky!

Luckily
the comet appeared over the darkest part of the sky where
there were no background lights although being in a city
there is a lot of scattered light. The orange glow has been
partially removed although you can still see it towards
the bottom of the image. |
