Comet McNaught from under Chicago Skies...

[chicagoastronomer]

With all the great images coming in from around the world, I was aching to catch McNaught from downtown Chicago. Tuesday, the 9th of January saw the clouds part and I was amazed at this surprise comet.<br /><br />A classic fan-tail and quite bright...even under mucky light polluted Chicago skies. I was able to take several images and a full narrative and images can be found at the Chicago Astronomer:<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/yx69x4<br /><br />Respectfully,<br /><br />Chicago Astronomer Joe<br />Administrator<br />www.chicagoastronomer.com

I cannot approve this image. The appropriate size for an image to be displayed here is no more than about 575 * 575 pixels, else it vastly exceeds to frame size.<br /><br />I am disapproving the image. Please resize it (500 * 500 is a good size, I have found), and repost it.<br /><br />Thank you. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>
