That is a great image Justin. The comet's tail seems to end beyond lambda Muscae, that makes it 33 degrees long.
It may even reach 39 degrees to theta Carinae.
Nice one Justin. I woke about that time and went out the back to see it, - barely visible to the eye, but could just make it out, I didn't bother with the camera (though it was a perfectly clear sky FOR ONCE!)
Well done with your shot.
Pretty good seeing most of the time. There is light pollution from Adelaide 120 kms to the south, with a glow visible, generally not a problem as it only comes up 5 degrees in the sky. I use it as a gauge for seeing, if there's a lot of dust in the atmoshere, it can creep up to 20 degrees.
Burn off's by farmers in autumn is the only other problem, but this only lasts a couple of weeks.
