It was visible for a short time in the southern hemisphere. I was living in Morgan, a small town 200kms north east of Adelaide and managed to see it on a couple of nights. From memory the waxing moon soon dimmed the view.
I did manage to get a few images on 35mm slide film, here's a scan of one slide. Camera piggy backed on a tracking telescope (guided by hand of course)
