Discovered by Australian Robert McNaught in August 2006. Canon 5D 2007:01:22 21:42:10 24-105mm @ 24mm 30 sec, f/4 Mode: Manual Metering: Evaluative ISO: 800 AF mode: Manual Focus Drive: Single frame shooting Self-timer: 10 secs White balance: Daylight Flash: Off File size: 10.8MB Image size: 4368 x 2912 Color space: AdobeRGB Saturation: Normal Sharpness: 3 Contrast: Normal Sharpness level: 3 Tone: Normal Custom Functions: CFn 2: Long exposure noise reduction: On RAW converted in Breeze Browser Pro. Why 24mm focal length? Photographed the week before with a 100 - 400mm and missed most of the tail. Wanted to give the comet a sense of scale/size by going wide and including the two trees (living and dead) and the swamp. Watch out for a future copy of Discover Magazine (USA) with this photo as it Masthead Image, Horizons 9th Edition in 2009 and the Kodak Bill Board in Times Square New York :) Cheers John CommentsFather McKenzie [deleted] says:Ok I will rate this the best i have seen.
