    in no way am I denigrating your shot because I think it's pretty neat-

    but my guess is that it in no way serves justice to actually seeing this in person-

    I'm glad you could capture it-

    Wow Gus! That is by the best shot of the comet I have seen. You should send it to APOD. They have been covering it for a week and always have spectacular images of space, but yours is comet king. That tail is amazing! clap.gif

    I really like the shot, Gus. The skyline/city sets it off, and the blue and gold are beautiful.

    Gus, great shot. You should submit it as suggested above. You won't lose anything with APOD or www.spaceweather.com. They are both NASA websites. No commercializiation or loss of copyright or anything :-)
