Here is my attempt of the comet. We've been trying to catch it for a few days now. Early on we really thought we wouldn't see it because of the clouds. We went up to the local airport for a low horizon. So with trucks rumbling past and light aircraft zoom over we waited.

As the kids just began to get board and a bit cold we started to see the comet appear out of the twlight. What a beautiful site!

We couldn't resist watching until we lost it to the haze on the horizon.

What a great comet!

Just wish I changed the ISO to lower number, bit grainy but I got it! These image are just resized and framed.
