Finally got to see the comet when the sun was below the horizon, even if was through cirrus cloud. Wonderfully bright and still about mag -3. This image is a crop from a 1sec ISO400 exposure made with the 350D + 200mm f2.8 lens (at f4.5) . Time was Jan 16.39 UT from Mt Stayplton in SE QLD. The crop has been reduced 50%. Can't wait for later in the week, comet should be amazing.
