I managed to get my C11 RASA onto it last night. 7 degrees altitude.

Image taken on 2024 April 30 at 09:00UT using a C11 RASA f/2.2 + Canon 6D.

ISO1600 10x30sec. FOV 3 deg. North up. near Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia.

The blue ion tail is incredibly active.

The well separated yellow dust tail has sharp curvature towards the north.

Visual estimate through 8x40mm binoculars m1= 4.8, coma 5' dc 6

Visual tail about 1 degree. Not visible to the naked eye due to low altitude.
