Daylight Comet.
 
 I stepped outside at midday on Sunday the 14th of January, with my binoculars and camera, to try and photograph Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1). I was not prepared for what I saw... Blocking out the sun with a street light, the comet was as clear and sharp as I could never have imagined. The compact coma was surrounded by a bright, diffuse halo. About 1.5 degrees of broad tail was visible with the naked eye. Now that is what I call a great comet! It was just the start of the adventure. Photo details: Canon 350D, 1/1000th second exposure with a Canon EF 75-300mm lens, ISO 200 @ f-11.
