G'day All,
I managed to spot the comet in 10X60 binoculars and a 4" Mak from the Redcliffe Pennisular last night (14th of Jan). I was accompanied by Argo Navis and another friend. A wonderous sight
!! There was high level cloud causing some haze and it was some time before we were able to spot this hairy star.
It is a crying shame that the Courier Mail has published such an atrocious article about the comet. The journalist and his correspondant have managed to make a complete dog's breakfast of what should have been a very simple article. It is on page 3 of today's (15th Jan) Courier Mail. In an article only 9 small paragraphs long, there are 6 paragraphs with glaring errors.
Hopefully the cloud will clear again for Brisbane.
Peter.
