73P fades
The Eastern horizon as seen from Adelaide at 5:00 am ACST (click to enlarge). Similar views will be seen form other Southern Hemisphere locations at a similar local time.73P is fading now. As the Moon has left the morning sky, it is sufficently dark to make seeing 73P much easier, but it is closer to the threshold of unaided eye vision. I've updated my binocular spotters maps to make it easier to find. We in the Southern Hemisphere now have the best view of the comet.
Here is a nice shot of jets from 73P-C, and a spectactular shot of 73P-B.
