Thanks again I have to tell you though that from all reports this comet is fading very quickly. I hope you and your sister get a chance to see it before it is gone.

Oh not are they going to crash?!

You know I actually really like this shot, its really cool that the ISS was kind enough to give you a fly by.

Maybe next time ask them to fly ACROSS the tail of the comet? Make you a new southern Crux

Suoer sweeeeeeet! One would hope that NASA got some great shots being that close I wonder how good of an image they can get with those price reduced plastic disposable camera they have to buy from convienience stores now sinc ethe budget cuts

I bet their images aren't near as good as yours

Yeah grrrr @ The ISS It could have flown a bit more off to the side for me for a better composition. Don't NASA know I'm trying to take pictures down here.
