Comet Atlas

Not as good as many pictures some 365 members took ( @craftymeg and @jgpittenger took gorgeous captures).
I was determined to capture the comet. I pointed my camera to the South West without seeing the comet with naked eyes. Unfortunately I trusted the infinity marker on my lens and I didn't check for focus. It's really blurry but I am happy to have a pic of the comet and the Milky Way.

Wow, you were able to capture it. I had no luck in even seeing it.

[Corinne C]

@mittens We could not see it, I just had luck. I took a random, wide angle, long exposure photo of the south west sky and there it was :-)

You got it!

[Joan Robillard]

Great shot

[Andy Oz]

Great picture!
It’s amazing what camera sensors can pick up that the eye can’t necessarily see. Makes you wonder what we’re missing every single day!

[Corinne C]

@plebster So true. That's one of the reasons astrophotography is so magical and enticing!

[winghong_ho]

A great shot, the news said that the comet will return 50,000 years later.

[Babs]

It must have been so exciting to actually see it

[Phil Howcroft]

Terrific, especially considering you couldn’t even see what you were capturing.

[Chris Cook]

Still a nice nightscape.

[Diana]

Lovely capture and a beautiful sky.

[Oli Lindenskov]

Nice pic😊

[Ann H. LeFevre]

With so many trees and very few viewing spots the only way I'll see it is by looking at the shots others are taking. I think you did well!
