Comet McNaught

Incredible, I believe it's the first time I saw a live comet. I joined the AAA (Amateur Astronomers Association http://www.aaa.org) and we all saw it with our naked eyes. Not to mention that Brooklyn Heights Promenade has one of the best skyline view in the city. I still remember back in 1986 when my father took me to look for Hayley's Comet, none of us could find it. I wish my camera had not been broken. Nevertheless, James Shanks took a picture of it and here it is. Click for larger view.

01/10/2007 5:05pm Brooklyn Heights Promenade at the end of Montague Street, Comet McNaught by James Shanks. We all saw it with naked eyes. But I think it was around 25F, I can't feel myself on my way back to the Subway.
