Stitched 2 images of SW comet from my collection taken 27-28th May taken about same time although seperately of the B+C frags. Stitched together in canon photostitch .
Background still needs a little work!
cheers Terry! another beauty! taken while you tucked up nice and cosy asleep I assume as well - I am seriously impressed by all these automated set ups out there now - image while you sleep! amazing, now we just need robots to send to work in our stead and we will be really laughing
I would like to be able to say 'I took this photo while I was asleep' ..one day
ahh I see I got the days wrong on the alignment - whoops- tomorrow morning it is.
Well I'm with Houghy, the weather gods (and the moon) have really stuffed up most of this apparitition for us here, oh well cant win them all! the summer ones seem to be our forte' down here for sure. May appears to accursed for this region now, I will forever dread comets that peak in May.
Well looking at the weather for the next few days/week that is practically the end of 73P for me - might have another squiz at them with the scope when they fit in a low power telescope view.
Cant really say I have totally completely enjoyed this comet, as I have hardly seen it, and it has been a major disruption to normal life, sheer blinkin torture really, with not much to show. First bright comet in several years we didnt get to image, even once, for us too. I'm in a mixed mind on this one, from a personal experience point of view.

Looking very good Mead Expert!
I have a very small complaint tho, maybe a resize would be a good idea, its works good in firefox with auto resize to screen, but in safari its too big, dimension wise dude.

well there, I am not the only freak on the corner, you are welcome to wear my rubber duck!
On a lighter note I looked at the position of the comet for the next few days, see post above with chart
Um the people number frighten me. On as lighter note, some dimwit asked Energy Australia to install a street light immedately to my sothern view that was dark, its not now ,floods my backyard
beautiful, through the binos this morning the tails looked a lot shorter than what you have captured there Terry, they are on their way to pass below Dheneb!
Absolutely wonderful shots Terry and Andrew, what an amazing sight!
Cant imagine that scene being repeated anytime soon LOL a one off as they say. For some reason they remind me of caught in mid flight arrows?
Thanks for those fellas! you made a cloud bound southerner very happy.
gee their fading/receding very fast arent they!
