Finally a clear night in Brisbane, but very strong moonlight made it look very dim with naked eye (although it is still mag 3.0). Here is a very contrast stretched image at 10:01 UT Jan 31 comprising 5 x 30 second exposures @ ISO200 with 300D using a Sigma 17-70 lens at 24mm f3.2. I've also cropped the image to 35 degrees tall and you can see 47 Tucanae is in upper left corner. Still has a very long tail, but not visible visually due to moonlight.
