Nice dark sky after many weeks of so-so cloudy skies.

High clouds approaching from the bottom.

Great capture. I was looking at the sky last night since it was clear for the first time in ages. I doubt I'd be able to find the comet. But I'll try.

i like the swoosh of cloud in the corner. i guess the size of the comet is why i've never managed to spot it!
