Cloud
nearly thwarted my view of Comet McNaught today but cloud
can be beautiful too. The shot showing cloud shows the colours
picked up by the camera during the shot. The comet? Well
that's the tiny bright spot in the centre of all that mother
of pearl. A diamond amongst the pearls! Later, the clouds
started to clear along the horizon at sunset. I tried for
the comet once more but failed. However, I did spy a rare
(for the UK) green
flash. |

Comet
McNaught in broad daylight. The comet was so bright that
it was possible to see him with the unaided eye when the
sun was shaded by the house.

We
finally got past our Kona low and the sky cleared on the
last day possible to view Comet McNaught. Members of Haleakala
Astronomers, guests and astronomers from the Institute for
Astronomy all were out for our 1st daylight comet. After
the sun was below the horizon, the comet was brightly visible
and later followed by a bright Milky Way and Zodiacal Light

I was on the roof of my
apart,ment building. While
filming, I didn`t see anything of the comet, and didn`t
have a binoculars or any other aid to help my eyes. It was
kind of "blind" shooting, and I was pleased to see a comet
on the monitor of my PC. If I had any aid to my eyes and
could see it, I would use longer lens. This animation is
made of crops of images shot with a 70mm
lens and Canon
EOS 20D. |
