McNaught's Comet spotted in Southern Chile

Postby admin on Wed Jan 24, 2007 12:57 am

Confirmed, we have seen the McNaught's Comet from Futa and Temuco. In Futa, at sunset if you put out your arm all the way it is about the size of your hand. Very hard to miss when the sky is clear. Looks like a distant firework pointed towards the horizon. Tends to stick around for about an hour at sunset.

Finally, the first day in a week with a clear sunset and no offshore haze. No dice. Maybe now out of range for Central Chile?

Way better than halley's comet. I am still not sure that I really seen halley's comet when it was here. This one you know you are seeing a comet. I still have not had a chance to check my digital photos. I might have gotten a few shots of it. Hard to do with a stock digital camera and no zoom.
