Well the comet is still visible, so here it is with a satellite passing through..

Southern cross, one of the smallest constellations

Large magallenic cloud, a companion galaxy to our milky way..

These were taken with a 50mm lens and a 2x attached...

That seems an odd combination.
Why did you team those two up?

They are great Big V, the Comet is amazing and the S Cross with Coal Sack is just stunning.

Keep them coming.

I love your Astronomy.

Throughly enjoying your teachings big V!

Big V is always a pleasure to view your astrononmy work and these are no exception, I almost thought we'd seen the last of the comment, but that first shot is a pearler!

And the other two, don't they just make you feel small and insignificant in the big scheme of things, thousands of stars, planets, solar systems and galaxies out there. Beautiful stuff.

Daniel, the 50mm is a 1.8 lens, so it is easier to achieve critical focus..I use this combo when I cant be stuffed carrying the lappy into the field to check focus.
