Hello Dean,
This is an awesome capture of this phenomenon of nature!
Very good exposure of the the tail, where the curvy line tells about the dynamics in space...
Well composed with good details, wise to include some ground to give a frame of reference!
Greetings,

I'm green with envy :) - For people in the northern hemisphere we only managed to get a glimpse of it at sunset... nothing as spectecular as in this photo!

The thin streaks of horizontal clouds gives this photo an even more interesting perspective.

Hi Dean,

You lucky guy! I tried to captured it my self here last week in Canada but at sunset the weather was always bad.

Excellent capture and well framed. Good workshop in NeatImage, makes miracles. I would have tried to keep the upper trail end of it in the picture but it still looks very good. The fact that this comet was observable at sunset only realy helps with a fine and colorful composition. TFS.

PC :)

Hola Dean,
Una vista espectacular de este cometa que hasta ahora no pude fotografiar por la nubosidad que hay en estos pagos. raro el efecto de esas nubes filamentosas que parecen haberlo cortado. Buen tiempo de exposición.
Saludos y segui mandando más del cometa!

Great work. I saw this from Australia, but it was between clouds and never good enough to get any decent sort of shot.
This is a spectacular shot and thanks for sharing it on TN

I think sometimes people don't realize how difficult astrophotography is.

Wow what an excellent capture. To turned on your camera and get your settings set for such a difficult shot must have been hectic. The shot is just beautiful.
