It has been a couple of weeks of celestial events with the Aroura Borealis the Hunter Super Moon and the new Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS appearing in our skies. I lucked out with the Moon as the first view came about as I arrived home from a photoshoot and saw it just over the trees. I captured more views early this morning just as I was getting up. The Comet was much more elusive and I made time Friday night to see what I could get. I read I had missed the peak of visibility but still wanted a shot at it. I returned to a sunset location here in Atkinson NH at the Atkinson Country Club where I had shot the Neowise Comet back in 2020 in that fun time of Covid. I looked due west as all the articles said to do and saw a nice sunset but no comet. As I was leaving someone drove up and told me they were looking for it too. He brought out his phone with a much better app than I had and told me to wait just a bit longer and look due right of the planet Venus and a few degrees up. I did that and didn’t see anything but taking some test shots the camera caught the comet. As they say don’t leave until the magic happens. I got my shot and although not as dynamic as others I have seen I got something for myself which was more of a personal quest and a test of patience.
