New bright Comet

This evening - NO clouds

Stuck in work :evil:

Keith..

The comet should rise at roughly 7.20am, in the ever brightening sky....

Keith..

Well guys, the weather forecast is for clouds tonight with a clearance spreading from the west, according to the forecast it should be clear in the west by 6am, we'll just have to wait and see.

I had no joy this morning, as yet again it was cloudy, I'll try again this evening....

Keith..

Anybody have any luck with this

It is after getting a little brighter in kerry so maybe I might get to have a look tonight. It sets over an hour after the sun and is now only 12degrees or so from the sun: Anyone know if it should be visible ???

Anyone know if it should be visible ???

If the weather is good and you have a clear line of sight then yes!


I cought an unexpected glimpse at this amazing target
driving home from the West coast on Sunday.

The whole sky was cloudy except for a patch in the West
and what cought my eye first was Venus shining brilliantly
(I thought it was airplane headlights for a while)
So I pulled up and at the side of the road to look for McNaught.
I could'nt believe my luck as I had my Binos, Camera & tripod with me.
I quickly set up to try and take a shot but was beaten by the clouds.

Has anyone else
(appart from John) tried photographing it?
Is it possible to use the webcam on this?

There are now a lot of fine photos of this around...
