We went out to see this comet last night. We've looked for it several times over the last week, but somehow failed to notice it. Probably because it wasn't dark enough.

So we took Bingley for a drive into the hills, and found a whole group of people parked up looking for it. Once the darkness set in it was really easy to see - quite an impressive sight.

Last night was supposed to be one of the last chances to see it, mainly (I'd guess) because the light from the moon is going to effect the viewing.

Of course as soon as we got home, we noticed it was clearly visible from the bottom of our drive. Doh!

Not my photo - forgot to take the camera - this great shot is from Stygiangloom on flickr.
