Just sitting in the back
of the car; blankets, pillows, food and more. Waiting for the
Sun to set and McNaught Comet to appear.
With the Fremantle
Doctor on the rage it was best to wait in the car until the
Comet shows itself.
And by 9pm the beautiful
image appeared. The comet appeared in the skies on Monday 15th
January 2007 and was last seen on Saturday 20th January 2007 by
the naked eye, well so the gossip goes anyway.
If only we could
just reach out and capture it in our hands.
Looking back over to
West Coast Road that hugs the coast line from Scarborough Beach
to Hilliarys Boat Harbour.
Rugged up and watching
the Heavenly body streak the sky.
A real treat to
watch. The 10km wide comet was discovered by Australian astronomer
Rob McNaught at Siding Spring Observatory, in NSW, in August
2006.
