I have been getting some interesting photos throughout the day today with a number of bright objects appearing close to the sun. They are visible only after reprocessing the photos. I am still working out how to interpret them (e.g. comet, satellites, artifacts, imagination etc...).
This afternoon, it is around 5 degrees to the right of the sun in the southern hemisphere and I think may be visible through clever photography and image processing.
From today's experience, I think it is still too close to the sun to be seen with the unaided eye from the southern hemisphere.
(Routine warning - do not look directly at the sun as it can damage the eyes. Do not look at the sun using binoculars or a telescope unless you have special solar viewing equipment and know what you are doing).
