A close-up view of the Moon

Comet Watch!

Comet NEAT Q4/2001 has been putting on a pretty good show over the last week. I’ve tried to take pictures of this comet each night as it has risen higher and higher in our skies. Of course the weather has a lot to say about that!

As I take images of this comet, be sure to check out the NEAT Q4/2001 page as the comet continues to play itself out.

The comet is about as bright as expected, though the tail doesn’t seem to be as visible and extended as we’d hope. Nevermind that, it’s still a nice visitor to our skies. I’ll try to keep up with it throughout the year as it stays in northern skies.
