Hey guys.... any of you camera geeks online now?

I'm about to head off in 30mins to attempt to photograph the mcnaught comet over Melbourne.

With me I am taking a tripod, wireless remote to fire off the shutter without knocking my canon 350d and I am just using the 18-55mm kit lens.

So any suggestions on types of settings I should be using? Any pointers?

I'll post up whatever I get later on...

To see some shots from other photographers see the link below. This is the brightest comet to hit the skies in some 30-40 years.. pretty cool hey!

pfffffft the comet was a no show due to lots of low level thick cloud... I'll try again tomorrow night

Try to get as far away from the city and lights as possible. Then you will not pick up any other light other than the moon and the comet.

Thanks AJ. Going to try again tomorrow, the cloud cover was lousy tonight.
