Comet C/2006 P1 McNaught from a darker location that Perth City, the Ferguson Valley, overlooking the city of Bunbury, Western Australia.

Amazingly a huge fan of the comets tail is visible in this exposure. Trailing stars are visible because of the longer exposure and no tracking platform being used.
Lens/Telescope:17mm wide angle
Date:20th January 2007
