Comet Neowise

Last Saturday night (7/18/20)

I'd previously pent a couple of nights at home looking for it,
but finally decided to drive ~20 minutes west to get some
distance on our light pollution for darker skies.


I found that the shot I like the best was before it really
got completely dark, with my shorter telephoto:

On spotting, take & use binoculars; its brightness was low
enough such that I could *not* spot this by the naked eye,
probably due to the triple-whammy of old eyes, local light
pollution, old eyes and it just not being all that bright
of an object.

Did have some cloud cover roll in to obscure it for 10-15
minutes, which of course occurred just after I'd finished
with my one telephoto and was swapping to the longer lens.
