    Michael - this is outstanding! I was unable to get a glimpse of this one time celestial visitor here in Portugal.
    Perfect composition and very true colors; I like the way you resisted darkening the image, I guess you are presenting exactly what you saw?

    I like this one, Michael. Ideally I would have liked the comet to be a bit bigger in the frame, but you needed mega glass for that it seems.

    Thanks Richard and Morkel for the comments!

    Richard: To the naked eye, no it is not what I saw. Unfortunately, in my area, the comet was not visable to the naked eye. but it is a nearly true picture of what I saw throught the camera lens. The only adjustment was the elmination of a power line that ran through the upper third of the picture. You can still see where it was due to my meager skills with PS. Another craft that I am learning to master slowly.

    Morkel: I would have loved the have had the comet to be bigger in the frame also, but at 200mm that was the best I could get.
