2007 January 23, Tuesday. Imaged at 20:06 from Roodepoort. Canon EOS 20D, 200mm lens at f/2.8, 2.5s exposure, ISO 800. Chris writes: "Again the weather cleared for me as I headed home. Took this from the field behind my house. The comet seems to be cruising horisontally with respect to our horison, rather than upwards into darker sky. I had to move along the road to find another gap in the trees for this. The comet remains good. Maybe a weekend trip to darker skies is in order.
