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.
Photo details: Nikon
D200 and a Telezoom, and a small achromatic refractor
(80/480) |

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. |
