Just added some new pictures to by photo album after a long absence.  This time the subject is Comet McNaught that brightned unexpectly to be visible with the naked eye.

 

I took the pictures from your office here in Richmond which was nice considering that in the last few days we've had a major snow fall and cold snap.  I wasn't really looking forward to standing out in the cold taking these pictures!

 

You can read more information about the comet at the Space Weather web site.

 

The camera I used was my new Digital Rebel XTi with a 70-300mm zoom lens.
