McNaught Comet

Last night we went up to the City Hills to take a glimpse of the McNaught Comet which is skimming over the sounthern hemisphere at the moment. It has been clearly visible for a week but we have had cloud all week blocking the view. Last night it was all clear. The view of the comet could be seen with the naked eye. It seemed that half the city was there watching in their cars. I couldnt get a picture of it unfortunately but it was an interesting experience.

There are some pictures on Wikepedia if you want to check it out.

A rare experience! I'm glad you take advantage of it. Whenever such has been possible during my life, it seems we always have thick cloud cover.

Sounds like you had a nice time. I'm glad you had some clear weather to enjoy the comet.

You lucky guy, Kevin! I've seen some beautiful images of it on TV... Yeah, only the southern hemisphere gets to enjoy that privilege... Congrats!
