Jason, it'll be getting harder to spot every day. I haven't looked for some days now. We are waiting for the full moon to go away - some days yet, and then we can try the evening sky again. Morning should be possible, but the moon will start to interfere in the mornings over the next days. I'd say any time after about 4:30am now - looking to the South of where the sun is going to rise. But I think binoculars will be essential now to spot it?? Anyone else from Victoria has observed recently and can advise??

I was thinking of heading down to the west coast (of Vic) and looking out to sea after seeing a Bells image posted. Can you give me an idea of how long this will be possible for, and at what time I should be sitting there.

Sorry for all the questions I'm a nubie!

Cheers
