Woke up early this morning at 34° F and shot in the light polluted backyard with the nearing Quarter moon nearby.

A great capture, worth getting out early in the cold to catch this.

Nice capture. I've almost given up on this comet as we have cloudy skies most mornings when I look out.

Very nice catch. Hope to see it a bit later if it doesn't dim too much as it nears Ursa Major. V
