Brightest last week in Perth, Western Australia...
It's first appearance last week above the horizon in the Southern Hemisphere was it's brightest. Clear sky and good weather in Perth with lots of people down the beaches at sunset watching the comet. We took two pairs of 7X50 binocs with us but didn't need them. The nucleus was like a bright star and the tail was huge! It was close to the sun immediately after sunset and just above the horizon. Magic, absolutely magic... perfect for that romantic cuddle after sunset overlooking a beautiful blue Indian Ocean...
