I missed the last comet that was visible around here, so I didn't want to miss Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS.  Last Sunday was probably the last opportunity I would have since it is quickly fading and not out for all that long.

Here are the best of the shots I captured.  The Milky Way was also out, but very faint and it will take some more work to try and get an image that contains both it and the comet.

I learned several things in this endeavor.  First, even though I can see fine, my eyes suck.  A lot of the other people were saying they could see the comet with their naked eyes, but I was not one of them.  Instead it took a little help from someone with binoculars pointing it out to me (quite a first impression) and then hunting around taking pictures until it was visible therein.  The second thing I learned is that you don't need to zoom as much as I had expected.  The first image below was taken with my 100-400 zoom, but the others were wide angle.  The comet is easily seen in all of them.  Third, meteors make a nice addition to any space scene.
