I popped out this am for an hour pre dawn, in the hope of maybe glimpsing .... something.

Quite a few clouds around, but were moving pretty quickly. Saw Mars for the first time for ages, and it has brightened a lot since previously seen. Also Saturn in Virgo was looking good.

Comet is tricky at the moment, though know others have seen it around the world. It is very low in the east, and for me this am, that was associated with a low lying bank of cloud embedded in the sky glow of Townsville and the lightening in east pre sunrise, and a Moon, which will be down lower tomorrow as well!!

Took quite a few pics and will check them out later, but dont think there was anything. Thnk I was hoping for a little bright streak with the Sun shining on a little Lovejoy tail.
