Now, come on. You just added a sloping white line in Photoshop, didn't you.
Interesting capture - I went out comet watching too but there was just too much
dirty haze in the south west to get a decent view. Saw it through binoculars
though.
Cheers

Was the Tokina a mirror lens? Wasn't able to see the comet because of
clouds in my area. Now, I understand, you have to travel to the
southern hemisphere to see it.

I left work around 4:00 PM yesterday. Zipped to the local department store
to pick up a cheap pair of binoculars and
Hi Jim,
Yes it's a mirror lens. Does a decent job overall. A fair amount of
atmospheric haze to shoot through yesterday.

I calculated wrong. About 6X the size in the photos you saw. If compared
to a 50mm lens, 61X.

Say, anyone know how much longer the comet will be visible in the northern
hemisphere? I just remembered that I could throw my 2x teleconverter on my
K 500mm 4.5 and maybe get a nice snap or two.
Also, what's a good website with info on the comet?
Thanks,
John
