Hi All, I managed to get a shot of the Andromeda Galaxy M31 and Comet Panstarrs this evening through broken clouds, I could only mange a single shot using a light pollution filter, I could clearly see the comet naked eye, and a little better using averted vision. Canon 40D, 200mm lens at ISO 800, 3 minute exposure with LPR.

Here my noisy shot for what it's worth..hopefully tomorrow night will be better..

Very nice shot Keith! Went out with the camera that night as well and was pleasantly surprised to see them so close to each other.
