I went out, last night, to try and photograph comet Neowise here in Simi Valley, CA. I realize, now, that the location I chose -- although would have been dark enough -- had mountains that obscured my view of the comet. I know that I need to scout out a more "open" location. However, I did come away with a fairly decent first-effort shot of the "Big Dipper".

That’s the way it goes, but at least you walked away with a nice image of the dipper.

That's right! So, I went out, again, tonight, a little earlier this time and scouted out a different location with lower hills. As remote as it was, there were still cars driving by, one or two every minute or so, which killed my night vision. Didn't affect the photos, though. Trying to upload, but it's not working, again, for me.

For some reason, I was unable to upload my comet photo under this current topic. I had to create a new topic and uploaded it there.
