I got a faitly good shot last evening. I used a 350mm telephoto lens at f/5.5, about a 3 minute exposure on Fuji 400 color neg film.

Walter,

An excellent image of Comet Machholz (C/2004 Q2). The coma is very apparent and I believe that I note a tail (ion?) at the 9 o'clock position. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

Carlos
