"I seen the little lamp"

Finally, after several evenings of cloud filled frustration, tonight I saw the comet.

Stoked.

Yay! Is it still there? How long for? All I've seen so far is clouds :-(

According to al the smug people on Wainui hill last night "it was MUCH brighter last week". Bastards. Yeah it was a bit dim but still cool :)

Turns out we were looking in the wrong place. Last night it was as follows at about 9.30pm:

Locate the Southern cross and the Moon. Look about halfway between them (in a Southerly direction), or if you like, about 45deg to the right of the Southern Cross. Altitude about the same as the Moon.

Good luck!
