Description
Comet McNaught had me chewing my nails! Every evening our western skies at Leeudoringstad, South Africa had been covered under thick clouds allowing only for the very opportunistic like Andrid to sneak in a capture. I had my chance last night when the clouds opened up a small window... The quality may not be on standard, I really stretched my glass, lol.

original and unique shot!
Lucky! We've had too many clouds for me to really give it a go. I think you captured it quite well actually.
Good for you Piet, your patience paid off, amazing!
Beautiful shot. Ive been trying to eye the comet, but its been very cloudy here and almost impossible to see.
same here, been overcast for days and with occasional ice/sleet. I really want to see it. amazing that it can be seen with only the eye.sounds like the making of a doomsday movie
Congratulations on these wonderful captures of McNaught's comet.
Tolle Aufnahmen, super atmo/light!
fantastic catch! a once in a lifetime :)
Wow...you've captured him. I was looking several times to see him, but we had always cloudy weather. You're a lucky one. Excellent and very interesting shots. Thanks for sharing!!
Excellent capture:so impressive!
Not only did you have a window, you had a beautiful color sky below. So glad you waited for the moment. Hope your nails grow back LoL..Take care:0)bonita
AWESOME! It was to low in the west for me to see as I have a mountain range in that direction! SO this is the 1st I've seen of it! Thanks & Bravo!
Fabulous capture!!!
wowww, so beautiful picture in this comet and impressiv too !!! Excellent my dear friend !!! Good day and hugs :)
Excellent POV Piet! You have illustrated it well! It gives the viewer a sense of size. I am just so happy to see it. My previous comet viewing was nothing compared to this. It is a pity that our viewing time is so short. Well captured!
Oh my, what an interesting capture! So great to catch a comet. Intruiging shots.
Just one word: WOOOOW!!!!!!
