Saw the comet this morning from Gibralter Rd. Clifton about 35 km west of
Tenterfield with 12x60 binocs.
The naked eye tail was 28 degrees long. AMAZING! The comet was brighter than
the Norma star cloud.
Lovejoy will be in front of the Milky Way tomorrrow.
Also saw LJ yesterday from Tenterfiel airport but the head was lost in the
haze and light pollution above Tenterfield.
Used the 16" last night, great views. NGC 1365 was a easy Z shape and I keep
seeing galaxies I have never seen before.
