Artist's Comments

It's been amazing to witness this comet, and to see all the incredible captures of it. These are some of my humble attempts. I was pleased to be able to frame it against a local landmark - Mount Putauaki/Edgecumbe.

I reckon this is a brilliant capture! The comet has been amazing from Cape Town (South Africa) too.

Whoa! Is that how it looks to the naked eye? We can't see it up here in the northern US. Very nice work!

Yup, it's a pretty faithful reproduction of how the comet looked if you were somewhere with minimal light pollution. Once your eyes adjust to the darkness you can see the full extent of the impressive tail.
