Comet Linear morning 22 Mar 2016
I was able to sweep up the comet without knowing exactly where it was with 8x50 binoculars. It was right next to alpha Triangulum Australis. The moon had set, but the sky was fairly bright (suburb of Hobart) and there was some intermittent mist/cloud.
It was about 3 times larger than Omega Cen, but a lot dimmer.
Easy to photograph: 50mm lens, 20sec 1600ISO f2.5 (no guiding) shows it well.
