Extravagant Tail of a Great Comet.
 
 Like a spray of water from a passing jet-boat, the magnificent tail of Comet McNaught fans across the western sky on the evening of January 19, 2007. In this image taken at "Stardate 2007" the brilliant head of the comet is already set behind hills to the west. The tail did not finish setting until well after midnight. Photo details: Canon 350D, 69 second exposure with a Sigma 18-125mm lens, ISO 400 @ f-4.5.
