Message just received via Sydney Observatory broadcast from Guide, have a look at this image on site URL below. Maybe this is what we have been awaiting for since Hyakutake and Hale- Bopp Thanks Les D for the info. See here: "
http://test.messier45.com:80/cgi-bin...t/IMG_1013.jpg " is an image of 2006 P1 taken from Norway. Note the bright twilight, it was taken from an urban location. The comet appears to be nearly as bright as some of the floodlights shown on the dereks of the cranes in the foreground. At present, from the observing reports I've had access to, the magnitude is possibly -(minus!!)3 !!!!!! (a little fainter than Venus). Get ready for Mon & Tue night next week
