This is it! (the last night for the comet)

October 16, 2024

 

THIS IS IT! These are the last glimpses (for me anyway) of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS.

 

I captured the comet as it glowed (slightly dimmer than last night) over the mouth of Paine's Creek on Cape Cod Bay. This is only the second night of clear skies in the last four days since the comet rounded the sun. Tonight, I am likely getting my last glimpses of this beautiful visitor.
