Goodness, Gracious....

Great Balls of Fire!

The comet was supposed to be visible at 9:30 but it was hidden by the huge nor'west arch overhead. Lots of people gave up and went home. I drove further up the road to look for a quiet spot away from car headlights.

As I rounded a corner, I got my first glimpse of the comet. It looked so close that it appeared to punch through the clouds, like a rocket re-entering the atmosphere.

I set up my tripod and took the following images with a 15 second exposure.
