C/2014 Q1 ( PanSTARRS)

[pixelsaurus]

This comet is visible in the low western sky just after dusk. The 4th graphic down on the S&T page has a star map for Southern Hemisphere viewers. As time goes on, it will get higher in the night sky. All you need, other than a camera and a tripod, is a low clear western horizon and clear skies. Some volcano in Sth America is chucking a bit of dirt about so colourful sunsets will prevail for a while.

Happy hunting.

Ta for the update, Mike. I have taken the following excerpt from the caption to that 4th graphic and highlighted the salient point.
Also, I have moved the thread to f-stop forum, as it is not a picture for CC.
