A snap of the comet from the deck tonight. Will try and get a less obtuse photo of it over the next couple of days.

Got a long exposure on my phone at Zorinski tonight. It was harder to find than I thought.

Nice, we drove west of Plattsmouth to see it. Little hard to see with the naked eye but you could a little.

Yeah it was really faint and someone had to point it out to me. I did a 8 second exposure to be able to get a better view.

What is the approximate compass heading of it? Or where is it in relation to Venus?
