Reader Submitted Photo of Comet Tsuchinshan and a couple others from social media.

  

A fan of the blog sent this note earlier :

Hi Irish, 

I shot photos of the comet on M,Tu,Wed evenings..... It was barely visible to the naked eye and faded away in less than an hour. Having a nearly full super moon shining brightly didn't help either. 

This particular photo was shot at 6:44 pm PDT 10/15/24 at 1.3 sec exposure, ISO 5000 at F/4 using a Nikon 600mm F/4E lens and a Nikon Z9 camera. 

I am located in the California foothills at about 2100' elevation.  CW


 
 

 Beautiful! CW. Thanks!!



Speaking of comets,
Early today I found these on the book of face.....  surveillance social media site...... there are some funny people out there...
