Description

I had just finished a night shift and was very surprised to see that it was clear out, I got a bit excited and started the drive home hoping that the clouds would stay away long enough to get a few shots of it. I got home and it was crystal clear until the moment the telescope was set up and ready to go........It started out as a wall of cloud cover and was very close to calling it after about an hour. I went outside to put the scope away and saw a bunch of clear breaks so I set it to take a run of 60 second exposures until it got too bright out. I ended up with a handful of shots that were good enough for a once in a lifetime comet under mainly cloudy skies for months.
