Comet Neowise

[5thGenTexan]

Anyone been out to see Neowise? Don't wait... 6,800 years before it comes back is a LONG time.

Thank you for the reminder.

I heard about this on the news yesterday. Unfortunately, the night sky above me has visual issues due to proximity of city lights around here. Woke up early around 4 this morning (still dark out), and I took a look up outside, but couldn't identify any comet. (The newsman had suggested binoculars, but I don't have any.)

Did you take the photo you shared in your post?

It took 3 separate trips to finally get the clouds to cooperate, but we finally saw it Saturday evening.

After it catches a glimpse of the crazy going on here now it may skip a rotation or three.

I sure did.

Luckily we are in the country and light pollution is not terrible in the direction of the comet.
