Well, clouds and showers in Brisbane pretty much stopped any good record of last night's Comet Lemmon passing by 47 Tucanae - pretty much.
Here are a couple of images. The first is a single exposure of 30 seconds, and the second is a stack of 8 30 second images. That was about the extent of the available view. Both images are at 200mm downsampled, and both record the <DanAckroyd>Russian Космос (Cosmos) 2428 Tselina-2 electronic intelligence satellite launched atop a Zenith-2M rocket from the Baykonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, June 29, 2007, 14:00 Moscow Standard time.</DanAckroyd>

I thought it looked nice enough to post here
The distances of the objects in the picture are approximately as follows:
Clouds: 1km
Cosmos: 1000km
Comet: 150,000,000km
Stars: 500,000,000,000,000km
Cluster 150,000,000,000,000,000km
