Comet C/2007 F1 Loneos - 16 October 2007

There is a new comet on the west. Unfortunately it is too low over horizont and so photo result is poor.

I was taking photos of this comet with my friend M. Minarik yesterday. Unfortunately my mount decided to do not work so I was taking no photos.
I tried it again. I used circular polarizer with my lens. Brightness of sky was lower a little bit. When I came back to home I saw how this filter decreased quality and the second attempt is wrong. It does not matter, perhaps tomorrow...
