    Comet Holmes

    I made a post about his comet a few weeks ago. Here are a few shots I've taken.

    D200, 80-200mm f2.8 @ 200mm on November 5th. The comet is now near the bright star in the top, center of the last photo.

    The first shot was taken at ISO 200, f4 for 10 seconds.

    Second shot was taken at ISO 400, f4 for 5 seconds.

    Third shot was taken at ISO 800, f4 for 5 seconds.

    Here's a link for anyone interested in finding, and better yet photographing, Comet Holmes:

    Comet Holmes doesn't have much of a tail because it is basically heading toward the earth. Hence, it is a fuzz ball in the sky.
