Dave, yes it would be visible from Brisbane, so long as you don't have too much light pollution to the south east with a clear horizon. Exposure will depend on camera and lens used. If you can get an image with 10-20 seconds using a lens of about 50mm, that will not trail the image too much. If your camera doesn't produce too much noise try mid to high ISO settings.

All the best.
Thanks Lester. Will be using a 60D (pretty good high ISO), remote, tripod and 50mm (I have both the f1.8 and f1.4 variants of this lens, will prolly use the 1.4). How does f2.8, 20 secs, ISO 800 sound? I'd love to capture some of the tail tendrils, but I suspect my exposure would have to be too long to really do this without tracking :/

Dave
