I took a quick snap of it to over here in Perth. Wont put my shot up as it isn't much good - but I thought I may as well have a shot of it as it is an awe inspiring sight to see a comet with a huge tail travelling through the sky.

It's amazing to think that the old *istDS was focused on an object 120 million kilometres away and travelling at a speed of 100 kilometres per second - try panning a spot at that speed.
