The comet McNaught is the surpise of the beginning of '07. Its magnitude estimated at -2 makes it the brightest comet since 30 years, since comet West in 1976! With such a brilliance, it's not difficult to see it just 15 minutes after the sunset!
But I have to wait 25 more minutes till the comet is enough contrasted to make a nice picture in a sky becoming darker. The queue is easily visible.
It's hard to believe: 1/100 s at f/16 and 400 ASA is sufficient to catch the comet just 15 after the sunset! |
