Don't know if this is a bit too out of mainstream, but could be a fun challenge considering comet mcnaught... doesn't just have to be comet photos, could also include just generally starry skies etc

Astrophotography is a pretty niche field within photography, and comet astrophotography is a niche within a niche. It's also VERY dependent on access to dark skies, quality of the weather, availability of equipment, etc. Probably wouldn't go over very well....

Yep. And strangeghost would win it hands down, foregone conclusion.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Steve, but if I believed in myself that much, I'd be pushing for this challenge too!

And this is not even dipping into the incredible Aurora Borealis shots we've seen here (damn Larus!). No, I'm afraid I'd get spanked in a sky/astro challenge!
