Great shots guys!

Clouds drove me out of Esperance, with my last view being the morning of the 27th. Back in Perth now, so probably won't see it again unless something unexpected happens

Just processed a timelapse I did on the 27th. This one covers almost 5 hours of comet, from around 10.28 pm -> 3.17 am. For this I tracked the milky way and comet in azimuth only to get maximum coverage. Lotsa airglow visible. Also, if you look carefully in the 2nd half, once the head rises, it is possible to track the comets movement against the stars.

Further details in the vimeo comments.

The last few days have been alot of fun! Just want to say many thanks to everyone on the forum, in particular Ian Cooper, for the great observation reports, images and discussions. Been great.
