Thank you!
Thank you!
Absolutely good advice. To photograph the solar eclipse, I used baader film to protect both my camera and eyes. Apparently, even 10-stop filters let enough IR light through to damage both.
For this comet, it is faint enough that everything I see says that you should be looking 30-45 minutes after sunset.
I'm going to try both nights this weekend to capture it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to with it being so low in the horizon. I was able to get a photo of Holmes Comet back in 2007. http://www.jrogdenphotography.com/ni...5956#h22ef5956
ahab's suggestion is right on, it always works for me.

Nothing in NH. Will give it another shot later this week.
I've been looking forward to this for a while, but unfortunately the weather here in Portland is not cooperating.
The last comet I photographed (McNaught) was six years ago:
It clouded over today. Maybe it'll work out later this week.

At least so far, I don't think you are missing anything. All the photos I've seen are from the southern hemisphere.Originally Posted by Daniel Browning

Partly cloudy all week in my area, I really hope it's clear at night for this.
Doesn't look like its gonna clear up down in Portsmouth, what about your area Brant, any luck?
Unfortunately no. Most of the east coast is clouded over. I'll give it another shot Thursday or Friday.
