I can say this comet is just extra amazing. This is very big, bright and beautiful. I found and captured image easily with much light pollution, in Tehran city. I captured these image with Canon EOS 20D, EQ6 mount and Meade 8" Telescope and edited with Photoshop CS2, also I took nebula-broadband filter for better resolution. You can see this comet with the naked-eye when the great moon in the sky.

Description

This image of Comet Holmes was created by stacking 1,357 of 2, 100 images (from two AVI files). It's the closest I could come to matching the view I saw with my own eye to the telescope. Kind of appropriate this comet burst onto the scene around Halloween. It's a trick and a treat!
