Description

Huge thanks to fellow Astrobinner Tom Robbe for motiviating me with his awesome Neowise shot!

The comet was not visible from my house, but I figured I would be able to see it from one of our nearby parks (higher vantage point, better view of northeast horizon). So... at 4 am I drove about a mile and setup my gear. This is technically against the law, since the sun had not risen, but I figured I would be able to explain myself -and point to the AMAZING comet, easily visible with the naked eye! I have never seen a naked eye comet so this was a very special moment for me.

Thanks for looking!
