[AZ-Observing] More McNaught photos from Siding Springs

Gordon Garradd just posted a set of very recent photos of Comet McNaught
taken from Siding Springs Observatory near Coonabarrabran, N.S.W,
Australia.

Gordon and Rob McNaught run the Siding Spring Survey, the southern
hemisphere counterpart to U of A's Catalina Sky Survey. Both projects
search for Earth-approaching asteroids.  

One of Gordon's images shows a silhouette of Rob and camera with the
comet in the background.  This shot really helps me to visualize the
angular size of this comet in the Southern sky.  My immediate and
highly-articulated reaction to this photo was something like "wow".
