Venus + Comet Pojmanski - Feb 23.80, 2006

Canon 300D + 50mm f1.8 lens @ f4. 8 x 3 minutes at ISO200. Interference from Crescent moon and twilight (above frame). Field of view is 28 x 18 degrees. Comet was faintly visible to naked eye despite nearby crescent moon, and in 15 x 70 Binoculars there was a beautiful tail 2 degrees long. In this photograph the tail can be traced to nearly 10 degrees - where it exits the top of the frame.
