Here are two images taken from Mount Ainslie in Canberra tonight (4/3/2013).

The comet was clearly visible with the naked eye.

Great shots there Carsten - much better weather than here in Newcastle. i am hoping a gentle prod to a certain world reknown kilt wearing imager will bear fruit like this, capitalising on his location on the outskirts of Camberra ;):camera:

Nice shots Carsten, I was thinking about heading up to Mt Ainslie myself last night...

Might try and get up there tonight or tomorrow night as I have Mt Tuggeranong in the way at home.
