I got up at 3am and was at Terrigal just after 3:30am.
There were clouds all about and I couldn't see Lovejoy naked eye, but decided to take a test exposure anyway and there it was in a 10s exposure.
So I rushed to set up both cameras and got snapping.
The clouds were a bit of a hindrance, but it could've been worse. Hoping for clearer skies tomorrow. I'll also plan to get there a bit earlier. By 4:30am I couldn't capture it any more as the sky was too bright.

Timelapse Added
Here's a timelapse just finished. I slowed it down from the normal 25fps otherwise the video would be over in 1.8 seconds
Watch in HD and expand to full size.

Shows how lucky I was with the clouds - a few degrees to the left and I would've missed everything!
