On the long drive back to Mount Isa I stopped overnight at Barcaldine and snapped a few rounds at this comet. It is Comet Lovejoy C/2014 Q2. If you squint at it, you can just see the tail above the noise, but only just. I need more exposure time, use of a tracking mount and a cooled CCD to get something better. Look out for another attempt at capturing this comet in the near future.
