Excellent stuff Chris.
Next time you're in Woolbrook, say g'day to a heap of my ancestors, they're
all buried in Woolbrook cemetary. Davidson's, McHattan's.......
Cheers,
Jason.

The moon won't bother it at all, naked eye-wise, as it moves to the horizon it will get dimmer so shouldn't affect the comet at all.
The comet will rise earlier each night and will be around for a couple of weeks or more yet, but it will be fading!

Misunderstanding as the moon will add to a composition ?
