Went out to see comet. So many buildings and trees in the way, kept walking west , still no view, always a building or tree in the way. Went back home when I realised I'd have walk to melton to get a view.

I think I went out too early to see it.

I feel this. I live on the fourth floor, but my apartment faces north. The windows in the shared hallway face south, but there is a new apartment building and the entire city in the way.

I hope someone here (bottom racer I'm looking at you) can get a sweet pic! Id love to see it!

After this date the best view is with binoculars.

Tonight I was looking SW over the bay. I could make it out with eyes a while after sunset but mainly because I had already found it with binoculars. Was clear and very cool but you need a clear horizon

Oh nice!

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

I don’t have a clear view and don’t want to walk around this time of night to try and see. Fingers crossed someone else gets pics
