Quick photo of Comet Lemmon taken last night from a semi-dark site. It is left of centre. It is quite near the south celestial pole- you can see the SMC and 47 Tuc on the upper right. I have included a crop of the photo. Canon 7D Sigma 50mm F1.4. Stack of 11 x 10 second frames. It is about mag 6 now but could not be seen witht he unaided eye due to the skyglow.

Wow, spectacular, John. Thank you so much. It reminds me of my recent trip to Australia.
