Chris, for me fascinating and painful at the same time, not to be any longer a spectator of thís great event. Nevertheless: a gorgeous shot!!!

Ok...THIS is the best shot I've seen so far of the McNaught comet. I thought a couple other ones I've seen here on flickr were great, but this one take the cake!!! Seen it in Explore's Interestingness today. Congrats! -NAT

Thanks for all the nice comments. I'm really glad I wandered down to the beach with camera and tripod when I did - as it's been overcast ever since.

Hmm! Only 85mm, too! Nice. It must have felt really close to you, then! Congrats on being there for such an amazing event.

Trust me to be out of Wellington when you had a view like this!!
Every day since I've been back the cloud cover has been tragic. Fabulous shot Chris, you deserve all these positive comments:-)
