Beautiful Shots Andrew (astro_south) and thanks for the link Kearn !!
I got up around 2.30 this morning to do some work and was stunned to find an amazingly clear sky so rushed out and set up the tripod with the 300mm.
I'll post the shots later when I get some time to get them off the camera.
I missed the transit but the comet was still visible at 3.30am where I could barely fit the width of my index finger between the comet and the horizon.
