This is a fabulous shot, Sam. I went out and looked for the comet around that time but couldn't find it.

Great shots Sam. I especially like the top one with the moon, the colors in the sky and silhouettes of the mountains. "V"

This is cool. Hard to see in Phoenix, too much light. But using binoculars helped a lot.
