I will be.
Yeah, I'm thinking I might have an early morning call, too.

If its that bad I've only lost an hours sleep.
It's a pity we can't see the head of the comet but it should be a relatively impressive tail with what it's been through.
remember the big comet . 14 years ago ?
Temple-tuttle.
It isn't that large.

Be patient or become one.
I'm going to try tonight - but I thought it would have been visible to the naked eye. Disappointing if it isn't.

Should be.
The Watchers - Comet Lovejoy now visible with naked eye
I'll go and have a look tonight/tomorrow morning, hopefully I can view it over the gulf.
I did some image Googling and the latest pics I could find were from a girl in QLD on a space forum. They were taken early this morning from what I can tell - but Lovejoy is quite faint in them.
Be patient or become one.
so thats what i saw the other night. wasn't very bright so maybe to much background light in the city? (i saw it back of southern cross)
boyfriends dad said he got up xmas eve at 3:30 and had good view from farm in Beverley sad well worth the look
Yep away from the light of the city
got this one out near Goomalling, First attempt at time lapse. 30 sec exposures at 1 min intervals. Would have liked to have got the sky lightling around it but my camera ran out of battery =( I have a few other photos too I'll see if I can resize it and post it up.
thats awesome slice, shame battery ran out.
Could you see it when you were setting up, or did you know the direction?
Intelligence and education are three sides of the same coin.
took these 2 nights before (Christmas eve night) and just set up the camera to take 30 or so shots in a SE direction and just caught it. So when I took the time lapse (2 nights later) I just took a bearing from where I was before, adjusted a little further South, set up the tripod and timer and went to bed.
First one was taken 3:44am 25/12 and I told my daughter I caught Santa on his Australian run.

Too much cloud last night. Fingers crossed for tonight.

Is it the same time tonight/tmrw morning?
"There is more in heaven and earth that can be explained by your philosophy Horatio."
True, but if science had the funds religion has enjoyed for eons we might have better explanations by now, or at least hover shoes.
