Comet SW from last night was created by Keith g
Hi all, Just back from a weekend of astrophography back at home, I'm just posting this quick shot of Comet SW3 since there's a lot of discussion about it.

This was taken while I was waiting for the clouds to clear my targets in the summer milkyway - 5 mins exposure at f4.0, canon 300D, 85mm lens, just cropped & sharpened slightly.

This was a little rushed, so please forgive the slight trailing with the stars :oops:

Keith.

I went out last night to look for it but couldn't see it.
Is it visible to the naked eye now?

I really must think of something interesting to use as a tag line!

Nice image of both fragments and m13 kieth!!

I seen it with the naked eye on Thursday night but not last night due to clouds.

coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680
