Ten days before the APOD photo of Comet McNaught, I photographed the ice ball for the last time over Shawnee, Kansas (USA) (Left). At that time it was probably -1 magnitude. I also took a video which came out well. Photographed 1/10/2007 over Shawnee, KS. Photographed with kodak digital 290 with 10x zoom at 100 ASA. (1 second).Wish I had my minolta digital which died a month before or the Canon XT and telephoto I have now!
What a superb photo of the great Comet McNaught on APOD (1/20/2008*)!
Wish I was able to go "down under" to see this even better show.

While we in the Northern Hemisphere were only able to glimpse it for a few days before it became even more spectacular in the Southern Hemisphere, I still feel fortunate to have seen this great comet with my own eyes, binoculars, telescopes and able to photograph it.
