<p>Anyone else catch it? I was impressed! Now I'm getting more excited for ISON in the fall.</p>

<p>Very nice! Was this roughly straight out of camera or is this a composite?</p>

<p>Thanks!<br /> Not a composite. 1.6s f/4, ISO 800<br /> The earthshine on the dark part of the moon was just good luck!</p>

<p>Clouds, clouds, and clouds here. <br>

Maybe tomorrow?</p>

<p>That's a very nice photo, Matt! </p>

<p>I had the same issues as Rob clouds. Nice capture Matt</p>

<p>Thanks for the comments! I thought I was going to get shut out by clouds too and almost didn't go out. But I saw they were thinning as they often do after sunset and thought I might as well give it a shot. Glad I did!<br>

<br />Here's one more with a little more foreground.<br>

<p>Lovely, Matt! Bravo to the shots. Around what time you took the picture? Is Pan-Starrs the name of the comet? </p>

<p>Yes, Comet Pan-STARRS is it's name. </p>

<p>Thanks Hin! It was a little after 8pm here (although EXIF says 7 - I haven't changed it for DST)</p>

<p>Awesome!!!!!!!!! :)</p>

<p>Very nice, Matt. Still cloudy out west!</p>

<p>Matt, really awesome!</p>

<p>I really appreciate the comments! That first photo sure is getting a lot of his on Flickr!<br>

I tried again last night at a different location but clouds near the horizon thwarted my efforts. I still had fun hanging out and shooting with my son so that was nice. </p>

<p>very well done Matt.</p>

<p>Wow Matt. I love the image. Everything works in the image; looks unearthy. Pity we've had clouds each night.</p>

<p>Excellent photograph. Well done.</p>

Great capture Matt.
