Comet McNaught

A picture of Comet 2009 R1 Mc Naught from Ron Larter

Please find attached an image of Comet McNaught I was able to catch in the early hours of 22 June. I was a little disappointed with the quality due to its low position and a stupid street light directly in front of my telescope pad. Mind you, I did manage to get its thin faint tail, which I guess could be claimed as a success considering the conditions. I would imagine Derek Buggs could get a better image with his larger scope.

Regards.

Ron.
