Astronomy Digital Picture – Photograph from a normal digital camera, and a short summary of the photo
24 Jan 2007
Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1) was discovered on August 7, 2006 by Robert H. McNaught.
It made perihelion on January 12, 2007, and became easily visible to the naked eye even in the twilight from city locations.
On 12 January, McNaught became the brightest comet in more than 40 years.
Unfortunately I couldn’t get to see this lifetime best comet, but I came up with this artistic view of Comet McNaught !
