Gary's Shot of Comet McNaught

This is Gary's shot of the comet. He shot it through the Nikon Prostaf 82mm scope with the Rebel XT. Beautiful! It is magnitude -2.0. Venus is -4.0, so it is bright! (Brighter than any star in the sky).

This was not an easy thing to do at 11 degrees which was the temperature at the time! Currently, it is 3 degrees.
