Comet Lovejoy 25/12/2011 Goolwa SA

Finally I get up early enough to see comet Lovejoy... The sky was rubbish but hey at least I got to see it!
Had it been clearer I would have headed out for something a little more creative - this was shot from the backyard, looking over the neighbours house. In the ten minutes or so after this shot, the cloud moved in, early morning twilight hit and it was all over for the day.
A pretty ordinary photograph, but very happy to have finally sighted this one. Hopefully clearer skies to follow...
Merry Christmas all.
