Panstarrs from Sydney - finally

[geoffsims (Geoff)]

Nothing too exciting about these photos, but at least we saw *something*. Shooting toward a barren headland toward the city isn't exactly scenic, but it was good to get a glimpse before it disappears.

Great Geoff! What's the best time to see in syd?

[Octane (Humayun)]

Onya, Geoff!

Keep an eye out about 45 minutes after sunset, Mike. That was about when it first started showing up (decently) in my exposures last night.

I could find easily it in binos from around 8pm

Hi Mike, not sure - H is probably right though. I first captured it about an hour after sunset, but may have been able to detect it earlier if it weren't for a pesky large cloud...

I could say any day where we aren't clouded out. At 20:00 AEDT today it will be about 9° altitude and a little south of due west.

That's about 2 hours after it vanishes behind my trees.

Too late, Rat. It's now in the northern hemisphere. Sorry.
