Plenty of goats here doc...not in this particular part though. All i saw last night was hundreds of bats & canetoads. The toads give you a fright in the dark as they dont jump but run & when they run near you on dry leaves you get a bit jumpy as this is prime taipan/tiger snake country.
Nice one again! Now, the bats are a bit creepy looking, we've got little tiny ones that chill in the backyard during the summer. And that chubby toad is cute. Sorry to hear you've been nibbled on. I'm slightly allergic to most bites/stings and I know I'd be miserable. Baking soda mixed with water to form a paste really helps ease a sting, I don't know anything for itchy bites though.
I hope the weather behaves again tomorrow. I'm greedy and want more.
I saw it!! I saw it with my own two eyes tonight
Myyyyyyyy goodness the tail on that thing is so big, I hope to find it sooner than I did tonight, at least now I know where in the sky to look.
I tried a couple of shots but I sucked at it so hopefully tomorrow I will get to have another go.
Thanks for the info Gus, I'm so happy that I got to see it ... Skippy

Gus you are watching something that is out of this world, for sure. Spectacular shots you made.
Several years ago, we got to see the Hale-Bopp comet as it passed over northern hemisphere. Not nearly so impressive, but impressive nonetheless. We had to go way down to SW New Mexico, out in the desert, away from any city lights to get a decent view of the tail. Your comet blows Hale-Bopp into the weeds.

These shots are beyond words!!!! Simply incredible!!! What I would have given to have seen that, let alone capture it as well as you did Gus!!! Wow! You rock!!!!
Tks...they certainly are a lot better in huge size without the writting & that view is for me & not the 400 million thieves on the net.
I agree about the internet thives, but the thing is that there are so many great images of that comet that everybody, who wants to steal has a very, very big choice.
Please take a look at the images from the comet discoverer himself http://msowww.anu.edu.au/~rmn/C2006P1new.htm
We have had lots of cloud around here in the evening with storms etc so I wasn't able to see it. Then we finally had some really good clear nights and I was stuck in hospital having a baby...lol
Your captures are the best I've seen....Oh and your photos of Glasshouse made me long to be in QLD again....I have only been through there once on my way to Caloundra and I've been dying to get back ever since.
