I took this
photo today at 5 pm local time--just after the sunset. The
comet is fabulous. It is very bright and beautiful. I took
several photos, and on one of them I managed to photograph
a flock birds.

Amazing comet. This is about the 6th comet I have photographed, including Hale Bopp, and the brightness is amazing. Hope the Alaska weather cooperates so I can keep shooting it.

After receiving
the Space Weather
Alert on my cell phone, I headed out to the highest
point in Macomb County Michigan, the hill at Stony Creek
Metro Park. The clouds were threatening but I chose to wait
and was rewarded with beautiful but brief views of the comet.

Almost as bright
as Venus, but not quite. Clearly visible to the naked eye,
and in the twilight a truly stunning sight.

The comet shown
a beautiful orange in twilight shortly before it set above
Spirit Mountain in Duluth, Minn., where you can see the
ski runs lit for nighttime skiing. What a fantastic view!

Comet is brilliant
and dominating the western skies, but in this latitude (44
deg. N) we now only have about twenty minutes before it
sets. This photo taken at 17:00 local time creates the illusion
that it is going to crash into a radio antenna at the city
outskirts.
