Comet Lemmon

I couldn’t find Comet Swan to save my life. I’ll try again tomorrow night.

I found Comet Swan tonight. The tail is either facing earth or directly away from earth so it’s a smudge. At the moment, it’s not as impressive as Lemmon. I also found Lemmon again.

My crappy attempt at Comet Lemmon...took this with a 200-600 lens...was shocked that I even got the comet in the frame LOL
