Hi Greg,
ahh!, thanks, I thought that may be the case, I must of been thinking of Kevin's view up there in Mackay

cheers
Kearn,

We were only observing it at low altitude because:

1) It had risen and I wanted to see what it looked like at low-altitude
2) The previous night had seen some cloud come over, so I wasn't taking any chances.
3) One should always kneel before comets

No doubt you've seen the news today, but for those who haven't heard, roughly 40 fragments of the comet have now been detected, though some of their lifetimes may be very short.

Cheers,
