400mm lens, no surroundings. Sorry. It's not likely to be visible with a wide angle lens here. Too much crap in the air.

The sky is generous. We had northern lights here today. Only they lasted about a minute from when I noticed them. No chance to get a camera.

This is the one I saw when I was out in the wilderness, and totally not expecting it. This formed part of my comet rant over on my forum.PsychoSerenity wrote:I could have sworn when I was young I saw one nearly as bright as the moon with a massive tail on it. Did that happen or did I just imagine it?
Edit:
I just looked it up. I think it must have been the Hale–Bopp Comet. I would have been ten. See this is the sort of thing I was expecting when this thread was started.

You've still got a few more weeks, but it's growing dimmer as it gets further from the sun. You'll need some pretty good optics.
