Awesome! I never got a chance to see the comet for the short time it was visible from the Northern Hemisphere. That is really spectacular. ^^

Thanks!

There are peobably lots of pictures around the net. It is very impressive, the tail longer than a full moon, and very bright. Much more impressive than Halley's Comet that I saw as a kid in '86.

Neat! I went out and saw it with my dad, with a telescope thingy.

Good on ya! You could see it from your room here probably ;)

I'll have to see if I can remember to bring my cheapass binoculars home tomorrow.

Damn you sydney

Can't see it here due to the light pollution from the city. Most annoying. Great pic however

I got a lovely shot of it looking over the lake, if people want to see (warning: 1MB JPEG image) http://cnmartin.livejournal.com/139304.html :)

Oh you lucky devil! I never got to see it. It *had* to cloud over and stay that way during it's daytime apprarition. :\
