Cheers Glen, It was a lot fainter than I expected but still impressive all the same. Here are a couple of photos. The street light in one photo is the street light out front of the French restaurant up near the lookout.

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.

You can see the pic on my blog at <http://odillesphotos.wordpress.com/> 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)!

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. Glen
