Details:
We have had thunderstorms nearly every afternoon since the comet started its journey outward having survived its touch with the Sun.
My husband and I raced up to Mt Tamborine west of the Gold Coast to get a clearer view of the western sky.
To my dismay there was a lot of smoke in the sky, it did make for a beautiful coloured sunset photo but for any chance of seeing the comet, well we would just have to wait and see!
I took some test shots with the camera, and at 6.40pm you could just make out the comet low in the western sky, fantastic! :-)
Also, by this time the full Moon was now coming up in the opposite direction - Oh dear :-o - Oh well - I did the best I could; the main thing was I got the Comet…Yay!
I really think if there had not been smoke and so much light from the Moon then the Comet would have looked truly spectacular…. Images were taken with a Canon 70D camera and 18-400 Tamron lens on a tripod with numerous exposure settings from 2 seconds to 4 second and ISO from 400 to 3200.
