Those are apparently not clouds, but smoke from Australia fires (Victoria)
What

tail
!
Still 100% cloud cover in Melbourne. Rain, too, so it's not all bad. Grrrr.
Same in Adelaide.
Coincidence?
I think not!
So this is only visible in the southern hemisphere?
That comet we had in fall 1996 (what was it, Takahashi or something like that?) was pretty awesome.

First comet I ever photographed. Ah, you never forget your first. . .
The sun has come out; only 90 minutes or so till dusk. I might even head out to the hills for a bit of a view.
Mysterious traveller indeed.
Dammit, I won't be down there for another 2 months. Do you think it will wait for me?
I have the phenobarbital. Who has the vodka?
*ties up new Nikes*
Way cool. Darn those Aussies, they get all the fun stuff!
Hey now, did everyone miss mecurious' earlier post? McNaught was viewable in the Norther Hemisphere just a week or two ago. Amateurs! Lazy folk! Yellow-bellied pinky communists!
Sorry, it must have been the fumes from nunia's Nikes...
Quit huffing my shoes, man!
Couldn't help myself, as I gave up huffing ethanol last month - something had to give!
I recommend TCE.
It has a nice narcotic kick.
Dammit, another cloudy evening. This sucks. I have a perfect clear band of sky on the western horizon. Why couldn't it be west? Why?
Clear here. Heading out at dusk.
OK, that was completely sensational.
*seethes*
I was awake before dawn this morning. Still nothin'.
I saw some snow today...
I saw a contrail in the sky at lunchtime and used my imagination.
It was fabulous.
Yay! Saw it last night! I had to wait until about an hour after sunset, but it was clearly visible from Melbourne. Happy me!
I think not!
