I'm sure there must be a Prog Rock album from the 70's called Waiting for the Comet!
Thanks.
Any idea who made the album?

Lovely shots Ted, the first is my favourite with the foreground interest, but your horizons need straightening!.


Let's hope Ison offers better photo opportunities, and doesn't fizzle out before it gets here.
Yeah, the horizons looked straight last night....and I hadn't had a drink either

I've answered yes. I don't see that any of my images could ever be used in that manner, but if they were, then yes; I'd like to think I wouldn't "cross the street" as-it-were.

Thanks Mike.
I did think about the early morning start, but decided against it.
Which episode of Sky at Night was your shot shown on?

Well, I thought I'd wait to see comet PannStars, so I went along to New Brighton, where I'd have a decent view of the north west horizon.
Didn't see the comet, but did get some sunset photos.
C&C welcome.

I've done quite a few sunsets and not seen it before this. Must have been the angle of the camera to the sun maybe. Still as long as it was only the filter, I know what to watch out for.
I probably should have seen it in the viewfinder. I really should learn to slow down and look properly.

OK...off with the filter unless needed.
I tend to keep it on to protect the lens, just in case.

Thanks guys.

I took this photo this evening, when I got home and checked it on the camera I appear to have two suns.
I was using a K10d, with Pentax 28 - 80mm with a skylight filter.
Could this be refraction within the filter?
It doesn't trouble me, I'm just curious.

I started using a pen for CAD and much prefer them to mouse.

No interest?
