webcubus on Nostr: I don't have great west visibility from my house so I headed over to the local beach ...
I don't have great west visibility from my house so I headed over to the local beach to go comet hunting. Sure enough, we found it! We were out just after sunset and looked up and to the right from Venus and could spot it with the naked eye. It is fairly faint, but the tail is MASSIVE! If you look closely off the front of the comet, you can see a faint anti-tail.
Single shot captured with my Canon T3, 50mm lens @ f/2.8, 5s exposure.
