As Sydney people would be aware, the viewing of Comet Lovejoy is problematic at best from the Sydney basin.
Three members of the Western Sydney Amateur Astronomy Group (WSAAG) travelled to Blayney, NSW (near Bathurst) this morning to attempt to view and perhaps photograph the comet while it is still with us and visible.
Conditions were good from 3am to 4:15am. An image is reproduced below.
Canon EOS5D @ ISO 6400, 30 second exposure @ f=50mm with ICNR.

Tony Barry with Dave Gault, Hristo Pavlov, and Anu Barry
