McNaught continues to shine

Even better than predicted.

The tail is visible for at least 2°.

Thanks Jeff. The last 4 sec. exposure shot, do you really see the tail as
an arc?

Oh yes!
In camera, through the binox and naked-eye. Very clearly curved.

Will probably try to catch it again tonight, with the new(ish) moon in
frame. (Cloud willing)

I know... colleague at work has a working trip to Johannesburg, she hates
here job and doesn't care about astronomy. I text her comet spotting tips
and she replies "Yeah... seen it..." and then goes on about how crap it is
down there.

Wasted on her!
