Agree with Liz and Ian...although my last view was 3 days ago, had to take some time out for xmas duties (damn).

Anticipating the drop off I drove out north of Esperance yesterday. Other than some airglow to the south (over the ocean), the sky was clear and very dark.

Attached taken just before onset of astronomical twilight 26-Dec-2011 (AWST) with 14mm, @ iso 3200, f/2.8, 25s

Nice to also get some zodiacal light + ISS in the same shot.

Will stay another couple of days...even without the comet it's nice to get away from those darn city lights.
