OT: Comet McNaught
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 9, 2007 4:54 PM

Comet McNaught has become the brightest comet
in thirty years.  It is visible in the early morning
and evening skies of the Northern hemisphere.

Many folks have taken some fine images of this
celestial object.

It would be cool to see how you could incorporate the comet into a RR shot.

Futuremodal will be pleased that Global Warming has not been linked

to the sudden brightening of the comet - at least not yet.  Smile [:)]
