As is well known in the solar system zaletela rollick comet. He opened her 19 year old Chinese astronomer Lin Chi-Sheng in July 2007 and called it Lulin (Lulin) in honor of the Taiwan observatory where observations. And yesterday she was at the minimum distance from Earth, which is about 60 million kilometers. Thanks Jsn, reminded me of a comet, but it would be well forgotten 
What to do in this case, people enthusiastic photography? Right, trying to take pictures Well I also tried. Despite the absolutely cloudless sky, a comet in Auckland are not armed eye is not visible. Prevents the strongest zasvetka from street lamps. It was my idea to go out of town, but alas, the idea came too late, to go to avoid zasvetki, you need far - over 70 miles from our house, and north through the city, because the comet is visible in the northeast. Exit to the south, then certainly close, but in this case zasvetka still be prevented. So I threw the idea of leaving and tried to take pictures of anything.
As it turned out, the camera sees the comet prekarsno But, alas, no tail. Green star - just a comet Lulin. Over a number of bright star - the planet Saturn. Two pictures: how the overall plan and growth Portrait And so it was visible, if I had teleskom and mounting (or install ... I do not remember) to telescope the stars twirl As compensation for the fact that the tail is not visible, I pofotografiroval the starry sky. I was asked such as: a star is visible in Auckland? It turns out that a very visible, and although zasvetka hampered, but the camera is quite a lot of stars in the sky. Here is visible the brightest, in our sky at this time in Auckland, part of Milky Way
Residents of the Northern Hemisphere will be interesting to see the southern cross on the background of Milky Way. And, you can posmoret on the belt of Orion and the Orion Nebula. Belt - three vertical stars. Nebula - right And the Milky Way with the general plan of the Southern Cross (find?) And leaves yukk as a frame
In general, one can conclude that the stars visible in Auckland, especially the armed glance
