There was only a window of about an hour between when the cloud broke and the comet was lost in the lightening sky. 30D 18-55 IS - not sure of the focal length - didn't check the EXIF - 30s - wide open, so I guess about f/4.5. Around 0420 NZDT.

There must be one of those hanging on your wall soon. The weather here has packed up for the rest of the week and I have to say that I don't mind too much. I'm tired of getting up early to see more clouds. I'm told that it's starting to fade rapidly now. "Treat every photon with respect" - David Malin.
