Comet Sighting - Down Under

[fsmith]

Hey Colin and Rob,

Are you guys seeing any of this action?

Spaceweather.com: Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1)

I'm a big weather/astronomy geek and flipped when I saw these pictures.

Neat stuff...

Check out the SOHO telescope feed. They had a loop of the comet coming through the FOV. There's some great shots with the comet and coronal ejecta in the background.

haven't seen it personally (busy playing my new Y2D ) but we did interview an astronomer about it yesterday. Very interesting.

my wife was mentioning it to me today over breakfast, cant say i was paying much attention. Sorry love!!!! Surely she knows by now that to keep my attention she must throw some random words into a boring conversation like rosewood, or Silhouette, or Axis. that pricks up my ears!

good one, Rob. Same for my wife. Keywords to get my attentions are Eddie, Luke, Music Man and... food. Of course. Was just wondering if actually the comet is true or just the reflection of some EBMM sparkles ?
