Comet 2011L4

[DavidWare]

I am really hoping for clear skies, I would love to attempt taking a shot of this. Recommended settings for someone with a T3i at their disposal? I would most likely use my Tokina 11-16, or maybe my 100 2.8 for a close up.

Would you settle for fuzzy smears of ice on my lens? The forecast is for -39 C and I think the photography is going to be a bit entertaining!

yikes....I just typed "convert -39 C to F" into bing and my computer broke.....

But....that could work....

Sounds interesting. Have even had a few patches of blue sky and seen some actual sunshine in the past couple of days. Can't believe how cloudy it has been. Wonder if we'll be able to see anything?

I am concerned about the same thing. Earlier this week I felt this odd warmth and brightness while outside...it was the sun....

what is the "-" in front of the number, never seen that here in Florida.

I am not one of the forum's stargazers, although it is something I'd like to get into. There was a recent thread here. Only real difference is that you'll probably want to avoid star trails as that would mean the comet is "trailing" too.....
