Comet Holmes 17p



A couple of nice images taken myself last night of Comet Holmes.
Amid the pops and bangs of fireworks I managed to take some images of the comet with my Canon 350D on a tripod with the 200mm zoom lens. Although the sky was clear, there was a lot of smoke and mist in the air. The widefield view was taken with the 200mm zoom lens set at 50mm while the close up view was taken with the zoom lens set at 200mm.
I would like to try imaging the comet with the ST80, but I will wait for a clearer night!
