Most of the scenes are wonderful
Three galaxies and a comet scene is exceptionally spectacular
Celestial spectcle over Queens Town is doubly wonderful in the sense that, some celestial figure with head, hands and legs on the Western part is watching the comet

@woodpecker50: Thanks for your comment! The cloud cover really messed up watching the recent meteor showers for many.

@O’snap: If you follow the link below picture No. 2, you will see that the picture is not “fake” but merely a composite of three different pictures. As for the other pictures, if you follow the article it explains that the great thing about Comet McNaught was that it was visible with the naked eye and therefore could be captured with regular cameras – see picture No. 1 for example.

I love to see comets or any unusual sitings in the night sky. We missed the recent meteorite showers that should have been great to see due to to heavy cloud.
