2007 January 14, Sunday. Comet McNaught photographed in daytime from Johannesburg, South Africa on the 14th January, 2007 at 17:41. Dark background is due to a neutral-density (ND) filter being used to reduce the brightness. The image is also underexposed for the same reason. Used TAL-100 refractor,40mm Eyepiece, ND filter (Moon filter works well), Sony Cybershot digital camera." Also see Foton homepage.
