Stunning, and such contrasts between the light of the comet vs. the dark skies and clouds. I especially like the first photo.
If I were to attribute meaning to the scenes, I'd think that the comet represents a light in the world and shows a path amidst the darkness of friction and the pandemic.

Great shots! Was that visible with the naked eye? We’ll be keeping a watch out, especially as it becomes visible in the evening (I didn’t know about it, but your photos sent me off to do some research  ). ETA: autumnmist, We can only hope so! |

Was that visible with the naked eye? Yes, it's very easy.. My photos are just 2.5" exposures.

Totally forgot to check this morning while we were away from lights, but I think it was too cloudy anyway. But geez, pre-dawn is awfully early!

But geez, pre-dawn is awfully early! We're BP'rs... pre-dawn means nothing..... I get up at 3AM to get a thermos of coffee ready, to drive to a site, and the shows over by 4:20-4:25AM... I was home by 4:30 this morning..and crawled back in bed....1- 1/2 hrs of sleep lost...for this Un-cropped, full frame from an APS-c camera, 220mm focal length  |
