Comet NEOWISE under the big dipper.
Having checked this comet out the night before near home, I noticed how dim the comet was getting, and amidst my light pollution, and even with the camera sensor picking up the comet, the image was not worth it. The following night, I drove about 25 miles to darker skies, and that made a world of a difference. This may be my last view of NEOWISE, and when it returns in over 6000 years, who knows, I may ride with it!
