sepdetI really, really need a camera for astrophotography.
Holding a point-and-shoot camera over the lens of my wee beginner telescope is not, repeat, NOT the way to do this. So these photos are not great. BUT!
It's a comet.
Taken at Orange County Great Park, almost exactly 8PM. I heard coyotes howling in the distance, which I find beautiful.
(black strips are some sapling treetops in foreground, which I was using to help me find the comet after spotting it with binocs.)
