Lucky enough to be staying in St Arnaud, Vic, tonight - clouds which had been building up this afternoon cleared late and there's some great flat horizons west and north of the town! Anyway, had a go at imaging the comet again as a last hurrah and got it, sort of! Unfortunately it was blowing a gale here which was a bit too much for my fairly flimsy tripod and Vixen Polarie. But it's there so I'm happy, still showing colour. First is a tight crop at half size, second shows the cloud bands near the horizon, pretty murky down low.

Might still be gettable for a night or two yet by the look of it, if you have a dead flat horizon and clear air. All academic for me as I'm headed home to the mountains tomorrow!
