At 1:30-ish in the morning of Sunday, November 18, 2007, the sky in Burlington was clear, and Comet Holmes was visible, right beside Mirfak (Alpha Persei).
I took four pictures of Holmes from outside my front door, and here’s an excerpt of one of them. Canon Digital Rebel 300D; Tamron 300mm lens @f/2.8; ISO 400; 71 second exposure.
Cheers!
