Here is comet C/2022 E3 as seen from Melbourne, over 3 successive nights. The images are certainly becoming less noisy as it rises higher into the sky but I am still hoping for more detail. I guess we were spoiled by all the N. hemisphere images:)

Each image represents about an hour of integration with RASA 8, ASI 183MC Pro and Celestron LP filter. Subs vary from 10 to 30 seconds (still experimenting a bit here). Trying to guide on the comet but still having a few issues...

luckily we have an uninterrupted northern horizon and so, as long as there is no cloud over the ranges, all is good.:)
