McNaught Star Map Update

I have generated another map for this evening's viewing (Tuesday)

Both maps are the same except for the background colour (White for printing).

This is my 1st posting so Hi everyone. Saw the comet mon and tues nights and was suprise how much brigter and for that matter bigger it was on tues given it was meant to be better on mon. Strange things comets but pretty interesting. Had nearly dozen strangers all come out to see what i was looking at. Funny how looking up at the sky is so strange. Good luck to all and lets hope this comet keeps on coming.

Hey Craig, welcome aboard mate.

I only managed to glimpse this object last night (Monday) so it is hard for me to make a comparison, but if I had to, I'd say that tonight was better to.

Tonight we had unobstructed views from the coastline. I and everyone else there were amazed. Not really seeing it properly before, meant tonight was my first proper look at it. I was amazed at it, the people I was with were spellbound by it to. A totally amazing sight.

I snapped off a few shots. Digital and film, so it will be interesting to see how they turn out. I'll post very soon.

G'day Craig, I know what you mean when you stare at the sky and people want to know what it is you are staring at. If you were to stare at the ground no-one would care, but once you look up it is a different story.

There were some spectacular views tonight. I was ringing all my non-astronomy mates, and they were loving it.

Would I be wrong in predicting that this comet will be the most photoraphed comet ever? I'm dusting off the camera. Everynight this week I'm going to attempt to shoot it.
