Wow!
Got out of Melbourne last night to Wallan.
2100hrs --clear!
2110hrs--cloud rolls in. Go back to in'laws
2200hrs---clearing!!
2210hrs--go back to viewing site---WOW!!!! this is the best comet that I have visually observed----better than Halleys/hyutake/hale-bopp. The tail stretched at least 15 degrees and striations (?technical term) were easily visible.
It is awesome----one that we can truly rave on about and not dissapoint the average layperson.
On a sour note--stuffed up my exposure settings in my haste to get some pics before further cloud rolled in, comet set and my ears froze off!!---all worth it however!
Now for some more clear days.
