How long have we got?

Excellent stuff Chris.

Next time you're in Woolbrook, say g'day to a heap of my ancestors, they're
all buried in Woolbrook cemetary. Davidson's, McHattan's.......

Cheers,
Jason.

Top captures OBMY, Optimal timing too ! !
Overcast here at 3am and that moon will be creeping to it next days ?

The moon won't bother it at all, naked eye-wise, as it moves to the horizon it will get dimmer so shouldn't affect the comet at all.

The comet will rise earlier each night and will be around for a couple of weeks or more yet, but it will be fading!

Very nice! Such a great tail, I remember McNaught.

Misunderstanding as the moon will add to a composition ?

[Outbackmanyep]

Thats true, it worked well this morning! :)
