What struck me was the 300mm lens to take this picture of the comet.
I don't know about the six minute exposure time?
I found the photographer's blog and he has more pics with details, which is interesting. Pics have the EXIF.
I'll have to do some night sky photography this summer with my XSi camera and 300mm lens just to see what I can get.
I'm pretty lazy about setting up the tripod. So much work. And I think I need a sturdier tripod for my XSi setup. The one I have works fine with my S3.
