From an attic window in the Netherlands, two images of this comet; as usual, click on each image to make it full-size.

Do you have a link that doesn't take you to a hotmail login screen?

Oh, I'm very sorry! No, I guess I don't. Well, you can see it if you go to the homepage of Sky & Telescope (http://www.skyandtelescope.com). Right now the picture is there, but I don't know for how long.

I love the picture of Comet McNaught passing galaxy NGC 891! Note the fantastic color contrast between the blue-green comet and the very yellow, dust-reddened spiral galaxy.
