Here's a comet for you all, C2022 E3 ZTF. The comet of the moment. The broad dust tail is easy to see in the pic, emanating from the green coma region around the comet's nucleus. The green colouration is due to diatomic carbon and cyanogen flourescing in the sunlight. The ion tail isn't so prominent in my pics as in some others but it can still be seen. That's the "stream" coming off the comet to the upper right part of the screen. It's fairly narrow in aspect.

Pic taken with t5 (iTelescope, NMSO), 25x60sec subs, LRGB (10x60 L, 5x60 each RGB)

Miss Tawny Coster's photo, with her wings spread wide.

This is by far the best shot of a spider, or any other pic I've taken, so far. Really happy with this one. About half the size of the other orb w

Many butterflies of all sorts roam around the backyards in Townsville. This beauty was one of the few that would stay still for long enough for me to

No, not laughing, just sitting there :)

Shot of "The Ville" Hotel and Casino, taken last Sunday night.

Turning more towards the setting sun. Cloud aplenty!!

Another species of wasp that was flitting around in the grass. Like the yellow stripes on its abdomen!!. This critter was about 10-15mm in length.

The colour version of the Port.

Flares being dropped from a RAAF C130-J Hercules at the 2016 Townsville Skyshow. The light from the Moon shining off the clouds is also quite nice as
