Can you see the comet? McNaught is barely now visible 17-2-2007. Pentax DSLR ISO 800 30sec.
This is not McNaught! It is Comet Ikeya-Seki of 1965, the previous great comet that also was visible in daylight. I took this in the predawn with a 1950's folding camera on 120 B&W roll film on 30-10-1965. Colourized in Paintshop Pro.
