The Tale of Three Nights
Pic 1 - Sunday 14th Jan - Clear sky except the SW horizon. As the Sun sank behind the clouds, the comet blazed briefly just above the cloud line, but not long enough to be photographed successfully. It was bright!
Pic 2 - Monday 15th Jan - No clouds, but severe bushfire smoke. Here is the sun setting into the smoke. No sighting possible of the comet.
Pic 3 - Tuesday 16th Jan - Smoke much less, but heavy cloud on the SW horizon. Pretty sure the comet was behind that cloud line.
It was Friday before I saw Comet McNaught in Melbourne skies for any length of time.
