Berrynose - Anything that is Visually Attractive

First, I’d like to thank spaceweather.com for featuring my comet photos on its Comet McNaught Gallery.

Here’re the rest of my comet McNaught Collection. Click on the thumbnail for an enlarged version:

22 Jan 2007: This was captured between 30 - 60 minutes after sunset in Mt Donna Buang, Victoria, Australia.

24 Jan 2007: These were captured between 60 - 90 minutes after sunset near Torquay, Victoria, Australia. The sky was lit by the quarter moon towards the western horizon. It wasn’t a good day for real astrophotography as there were cloud patches. But they were definitely candies for landscape photos.

I personally like this one. The ground & the towers were pretty much dark as the moon was behind a small cloud.

This is for the star trail enthusiasts.

The effect of the moon was at its fullest in this one. Even the towers & the ground were slightly lit.

So what happened on the 23rd? Well, I went to Mt Dandenong that evening but the city lights were just too offensive to the night sky. Although the comet was clearly visible, as I underestimated the effect of light pollution, all the shots on that day were hopelessly overexposed.
