RE: [APML] OT: Comet Neat on May 15

["Jeff Ball" <jeffball@astro-photography.com>]

Phil,
That is a very pleasing shot.  I know others like to fix the comet
against the star field, but my thoughts are that we rarely can depict
motion in a still photograph of an astronomical object and comets are
one of those special times.  I like the stars trailing as it adds a
feeling of movement and when the stars are done well (well focused and
no guiding errors as in your shot) it really adds to the shot.  Very
nicely done and thanks for posting.  

Best regards,

Here's my version of Comet Neat :)  Shot last night from Wiltshire 
England.  Not a film image, but interesting to track changes in the 
structure and the tail.  No sign of three tails here, and even the dust 
tail has shrunk quite a lot:
