Very cool pic MSgalileo. I've been told that if I look outdoors tonight I will be able to see the comet. Last week we had a Russian rocket re-enter the atmosphere and I saw that and was thoroughly impressed. I'm looking forward to this tonight, if the clouds cooperate. Thank you for the heads up!

Anybody saw it? The weather was naughty so I didn't get to see anything.

My BGfriend in Edmonton (ON), make some shoots yesterday just after sunset, the comet was clearly visible.

Those ads at the top of the page must be basing their content on the content of each thread - there are now comet-related books in the ads for this thread.:doh:

Great picture BTW MSgalileo.:up: I'll have a look at that site to see if this comet will ever be visible from my university.:yep:
