Lemmon from the Pony Club

[Irish stargazer]

Quick photo of Comet Lemmon taken last night from the Pony Club in the company of a few Ice In Space members. It is left of centre. It is quite near the south celestial pole- you can see the SMC and 47 Tuc on the upper right. I have included a crop of the photo. Canon 7D Sigma 50mm F1.4. Stack of 11 x 10 second frames. It is about mag 6 now but could not be seen with the unaided eye due to the skyglow.

There is a hint of a tail.
