I have been up at 3:45 each morning for 3 days now.
The first day I had a layer of clouds that wouldn’t leave.
Yesterday I tried to find a park that overlooks the rio grande and couldn’t get away from other peoples houses.
Today I made the drive to a bortle 5 area west of Albuquerque.
This is definitely a visible eye comet right now.
These were both shot with a Canon 70-200mm f:2.8 L lens and a Canon 7D Mark II at f:/2.8 ISO 800 for 1 second.
I used a standard tripod and remote shutter to minimize movement.
The panoramic was at 70 mm and the single was at 200mm and cropped about 40%.
Stay safe...

Very Nice images. I hope to get out there once I get back from camping and try a few shots. Probably won't be until it becomes an evening object.

Thank you very much.
I’m looking forward to trying this when it becomes a nighttime event.
I don’t have to travel just fight the weather.
Stay safe...

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Great shots Jim!
I'm just getting excited about this.
I think I will set up and see what I can gather of it.
Thanks for your spec's on the capture!

SWEET!
The second really shows the faint long tail. I've been fighting what I think are the start of monsoon clouds the past few days. I would think the comet would have picked a better weather pattern to display all its glory.

I thought I had replied to this but I must not have hit send.
I think there’s only a few mornings left before it moves too far and becomes a night event. I was fortunate enough to have decent weather yesterday and fair weather today.
It would have been visible last night except for clouds starting to roll in from the west.
About settings, since time is short and interest is good, I wanted to give newer members a starting point.
Thank you very much for the compliment by the way and I hope you will be posting your own photos soon.
Stay safe.

Nice shots. Much better than mine under a wispy clouded sky.
Thank you very much.
This morning I had scattered clouds that came and moved along pretty quickly but haze was more of an issue.
I’ll post a few photos later.

It’s not the clouds fault, it’s like when you buy new equipment. They just want to see what the fuss is.
Thank you very much for the compliment.

Except at Sonny's house.
I'm enjoying everybody else's successes.
