we got a look at it last night at the CWAS dark sky sight just out of Parkes NSW,I picked it in my GSO 12inch dob with 30mm and 21mm ed eyepiece. John Sarkissian viewed it in his 8 inch F6 EQ reflecor with 22mm eyepiece.The date was the 5/4/2008 . It was not a good night for faint things .We noticed a lot of smoke coming from the South as we drove to the viewing site from canowindra.We got onto comet tuttle up near the LMC.We had a go at comet Skiff in virgo but I think we ended up thinking hte M61 was it.I think it is alot dimmer than my planetary program said it was. Peter canon -Clive Ward - L Crowley - Mgrimshaw Viewed the comets as well. Tony
