The clouds parted for a short while to allow Jim Vincent to get an image of comet liner 2002T7. This comet will be a naked eye object next May (2004) - possibly mag 0.0. Unfortunately it will only be visible south of the equator when it is at its brightest.

Here's a picture of Ikea Zhang on a very windy night at the Dengie peninsula.  Exposure was 10 mins on the Tak Epsilon on kodak portra 400 NC.  I think it was taken on 7th April 2002, but I need Ron to confirm, as he took some shots at the Dengie that night to, and unlike me he kept a record of them. Image taken by Brian Boggenpoel.

A nice picture of Hale Bopp also taken by Ron Mansfield showing very clearly the blue tail. Can you see the double star-cluster of Perseus in the top-left?
