I'm sure there are plenty of sites out there, with pics of the NEOWISE Comet. However, I thought I'd show, what things were like, from Walworth, NY. . . .
And if one is only interested in the "raw data," if you will—one can click, on the following links:

My first shot of the comet—with an overexposed fence:
Probably the (technically) best shot, of the evening:

I like this one:
And while the rest of the pictures looked fine on the screen, none of the remainder, were all that good:
(Dr.) Poul Jensen, has warned me of this—"Until you have the image(s), downloaded and viewed on a computer screen, you never really know, what you have."
You know, it's funny—normally, chasing astronomical events with my camera, would seem . . . pretty commonplace; however, with all this Covid-19 . . . stuff, going on, I found it really engaging, to put old skills to use.

Oh, yeah—and I guess an "old mystery" was solved, by being in this place. (This turned out, to be the location, of a memory I had—but couldn't remember, where it had occurred. . . .) Several years ago, I remember working on my laptop, on a hill, in Western Upstate New York. I had my Dad's phone, and his cousin–or some such (I can never keep his relations straight—which is kind of ironic, given. . . .)–and she asked me how I was doing. I told her I was having trouble with my weight. She–amazed at this–said, that I had always looked like a "beetle." "A BEETLE?!" I responded. Well—I knew what she meant: I was as thin, as a member of "The Beatles." Did I mention, she hadn't seen me—in over twenty years?? (. . . .)

(And happily, I am nice 'n svelte, now. :) :) )
