Started viewing at approx 9:00pm and finished approx 9:25pm. The comet was spectacular. It had a huge and long curving tail, explained to us by an ameteur astonomer that was in the viewing crowd that the tail is acctually pushed away from the earth by the sun! We found this to be quite fascinating. once again thank you Dr McNaught! January 19th 2007. 9:00pm Just had a wonderful view of the comet from Speers Point in NSW, Australia.

I've also seen some stunning pictures taken from Table Mountain in Capetown on 17/01/2007.

We set up a telescope and about 40 people looked at the comet,some comments from the kids were fantastic.

Awesome! Not many lights where we live, and the more the sun went down the brighter the comet became.(reflection from Sun I guess) Area of View, is Cessnock. N.S.W. Koolang Observatory at Bucketty would have been great! Let's hope Comet rides the skies tomorrow. My view took place at approx 19:45 Bellbird. N.S.W. (Cessnock) Fantastic!
