Saw comet last night, but had to travel 60km to try to get away from bushfire smoke on W horizon (comet-chasers?!?). Great views, even though sky was still smokey, and McNaught disappeared into thick bank while the W sky was still quite bright. Got short AVI with NexImage through 4.5" f8 reflector, but lack of contrast was a real problem, meaning the Registax-processed image is not great.

Big clouds now building up, so tonight may be out for viewing here . Last night's image attached, for what it's worth. Some great images are being posted, and congratulations one and all!

Cheers -
