Comet PANSTARRS 2011 L4 (County Durham)

[Dangerous-Dave]

Chuffed to bits to see this - had just about given up hope of seeing it when I caught a glimpse of a faint smudge hanging over the Pennine hills. Charged downstairs and climbed into the hedgerow with the DSLR!

Crop:

Both shots: Canon EOS30D, Leica Telyt 180mm/f3.4, 4 secs at ISO1000, f3.4

cheers for looking

Great photo. I particularly like the fact you've got the horizon in the shot to give some context. I'll have to get out there (clouds permitting) and have a go myself.

Well done Dave, they're great images - looks like quite a few of us up North finally got lucky and saw it tonight.
