Very nice shot - I like the cityscape in the shot.
I have not seen any other shots taken in full sunlight, similar to the ones I took on the 14th Jan. Has anyone got images when it was only a few degrees away in the daytime sky? It would be interesting to compare notes.
That was the day I tracked it from am to pm.
Clear skies...

I don't think I have seen too many where it is close to the sun. Being a film photographer, I stay as far away from the sun as possible (93,000,000 miles to be exact :chesy_Smile: )

I am referring to Comet McNaught, this is the one I took on the 14th in full daytime sun when it was only a few degrees away. Challenging!
Clouded out again to-night after a perfect cloudless day.

Daylight shots are amazing Shev.
Shame about the cloud last night.
