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.

Here is a link to a whole Sky & Telescope page, where there is a picture of Comet McNaught's tail passing very clearly right in front of the disk of NGC 891. The picture is by Steve Yerby, and it's very neat, in my opinion!

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.

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