Mercury over Magnetic Island

A few images from this morning, luckily nice and clear, though sky fairly bright with a nearly full Moon sinking in the west.
Mercury shining brightly in Cetus.
A nice -2.1 ISS pass as well.
Dog and owners were back for their walk.
Couldnt see the comet in binoculars, though is brightening.

Hi Liz, very nice set of images again although no palm trees, however having a tropical island has to be a big plus. Certainly very far removed from here in the outback.

I really love the effect of the dogs wiggly red light, is there any chance of finding out his name. Reckon a label with his name on by the red line would be a lovely touch.

Regards
Trevor

PS: Wouldn't it be great if the dogs name was Pluto.
