You got it! Very nice.

Love the silhouetted roof line with the deep blue sky. Wonderful image!

The comet was my main project tonight, but since the moon was high in a beautifully clear sky, I took some shots. Picking one to post now. The waxing crescent phase is one of my favorites. I think it's probably one of your favorites too. Lots of craters and shadows. I hope you have clear skies tomorrow and are able to get some shots!

3. We shall see!

It’s supposed to rain tomorrow but clear out by tomorrow night. IF it does, I’ll see what I can do.

And you’re right— the waxing crescent moon is my favorite!

5. Thank you for this

My eyesight sucks, so there is no way I can see it up in the sky. So far, most sites have given me the unhelpful "artist's rendition," thanks a hell of a lot.

Your picture is perfect. Wow, it really does read green. I remember Hale Bopp as being kind of a brownish orange.
