Thanks Carl, we did notice the zodiacal light at the time, but I haven't been through the photos properly. Third is nice, but I'm partial to number 4 with the two meteors... not bad for 60 seconds.

Yeah, I thought it was a nice pressie. Anne-Louise had to wait a few days to see it until we went to Bribie.

Thanks Darrin.

Shot everything in 1600 and short exposures, which I generally try to avoid, but it would have been a big ask to set up the mount to get some tracked images.

This is my second Kreutz sungrazer. My first was Comet Ikea-Seki in October 1965 as a 4 year old. Still remember that golden "rocket trail" in the afternoon sky.
