I have been quietly reading the threads in this forum since last Friday, extremely disappointed that I was yet to see the comet. That changed last night - clear skies and what a sight! It was visible from about 8.15 and the end of the tail was still visible above the horizon around 10.00. It is the first time I have seen a comet of this (metaphorical and literal) magnitude. After seeing photos of Halleys 1910 visit I was a disappointed 10 year old in 1986. I have been waiting for something like this since and I feel extremely priviliged. Lets hope she hangs around with such an awesome display for those yet to see her. Good luck everyone. It would be worth driving a few hours to get around the cloud, if possible, to see this. WOW!
