Why failed? It looks like the comet is actually just outside right edge of the photos I took -near the top, see http://www.flickr.com/padraig_houlahan/sets However, there are 4 faint fuzzies in the frame, 3 of which are pretty colinear with where the comet was. I hate coincidences. Regards, PH -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
