We're seeing a few fine images of the comet at the moment, but this really is one of the finest.

you're getting an awesome set of the comet - should put them together as a calendar or something.

Don't really have enough for a calendar, but perhaps I could submit them to a space themed calendar.

Not along the Tableview coast but along the Gordons Bay coast just beyond the Steenbras River mouth.

Thanks everyone. I consider myself lucky, firstly to live in the southern hemisphere where we got such wonderful views of the comet and secondly that I live mere minutes away from an area that is largely free of city light pollution.

Thanks Eric. Yes it's False Bay and the dark band between it and the comet is the peninsula that the comet is about to set behind.
