Comet Holmes -







Taken on Nov 3rd, from Long Island; with 3.1MP Canon S1 IS. Camera settings were not recorded. Not a great photo, by any stretch. But, it's one of the few decent shots I got of comet Holmes. ISO 400, 10 Sec. exposure at F3.2, 10x zoom.


Another shot of comet Holmes - too bad the airliner had to fly through it - it would have been a nice one.
