Awesome Image

This is totaly off Topic, but every so often I see an image that just says ..".yup dude you got it right..." and this is one of those images.

It also makes me wonder what my next camera should be as all the current crop of super-zooms from Fuji would leave you disappointed if you were attempting this sort of imagery.

The image was taken in my old home town and this is one of the best areas for shooting really neat images, and as an amateur astronomer I can appreciate what the image shows ( as I'm sure most others do as well)

You can see other images from Nasa's website here as well as an explanation of what the image shows.

There are 4 major astronomical objects in view, can you see all of them?



Love dat Fuji

Fuji HS20EXR
Fuji HS10,
Pentax sf7, Pentax zx-50

The moonlight on the water and branches give a beautiful glow. Add the starry sky in and its a keeper.

What is the object left of the tree about half way up?

Looks like a comet. :-O

It is indeed a comet. The link I provided supplies more info ( unless its broken )
