finally got to see it, took a few snaps nothing really spectacular. But
naked
eye was excellent. Beautiful and clear up on the Plateau this morning.
I'll try and post a photo later after I try and clean them up a little.

Hi All
I finally caught the comet on film yesterday, and yes, the tail is amazing.
You can see the pic on my blog at http://odillesphotos.wordpress.com/ - the
tail is faint but I was very chuffed to finally see the comet properly (I've
been up at 2.30 most mornings hoping for holes in those darned clouds)!
Cheers, Odille

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.
