G'day I'm newbie from Gold Coast,been reading these forums for the past week or so.
I'm so grateful to twitter (someone posted a link) that I found this website, it's amazeballs!
I'm primarily a pro music photographer. Though I've always had a love affair with the night sky, capturing significant events. Being born a Taurean night owl, getting out at obscure hours to photograph things is nothing new. I'm definately amongst friends here
it looks like!
Thought I'd share some of my Lovejoy pics taken over the past week. I really wish I'd known about this earlier (only read it in the paper).
Enjoy!

I have one question I wanted to have answered by you experts, haha, if you don't mind. Can someone give me info about the bright mass that appears to the left (10-15cm) of the top star of two bright stars under the crux. Is that a supernova? Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge of star names/terminology etc.
Thanks in advance
Gerry
