17P/Holmes

Comet 17P/Holmes underwent a huge outburst of some 13-14 magnitudes (the largest ever known for a comet in only a day or two) around 2007 Oct. 24, attaining total visual mag 2.4 +/- 0.2 in the last week of October. It was only slowly declining in brightness as it moved through the constellation Perseus, well placed for northern-hemisphere observers into early 2008.

C/2004 F4 (Bradfield)

Although not very bright, this was a nice comet to observe. I first shot the comet at daybreak, before perihelium passage. Two weeks later I was in the Algarve region of Portugal and was able to photograph the comet as it passed by the Andromeda galaxy.
