Set up and couldn't see anything. Another person with binoculars found it first. Once he showed me; I could barely see it through my 100-400. I focused using liveview on my 1Dmk iv.   -Tom Dragonetti

It's hidden in the fog. THAT would have been an awesome foreground, but I'd almost need to be in Mexico to get Downtown in the foreground, + moon + comet -Tom Dragonetti

Save them for Comet ISON, which promises to be better than Hale-Bopp late this year. Mark.

At least you can TELL this is a comet. The ISS flying so fast and totally silent IS something that's cool to see/experience.... But I like these better.
