Arctic Fox Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks Tormod. After waking up before sunrise for a week to see only cloudy skies, I was lucky to have a clear view one evening. :shrug: InfiniteNow: Spaceweather.com is where I got the idea of capturing McNaught... a chance to test out my new camera I got this past Yule. They were the first site I sent the picture to:spaceweather.com/comets/mcnaught/11jan07/fox.jpg Quote
tmaromine Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 I got some pictures the evening of the 10th, of which everyday after has been cloudy ! :shrug: Here are mine: Comet McNaught Quote
InfiniteNow Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Today's APOD is pretty cool as well. It was taken from the SECCHI instrument aboard the new STEREO satellite: APOD: 2007 January 17 - Comet McNaught from New STEREO Satellite Quote

What kinda exposure do you need for that to happen? I saw the sucker a few days ago, and it definitely did not look like that! AWESOME! Quote
