Carried by the monsoon, a huge block of clouds descended on us during the day and it was obvious that there would be no comet viewing. After having been clouded out the night before, I decided to take drastic action. We got in the car at 6 PM and drove down from our mountain toward the east. Almost three hours later, we ended up on the side of the road near a potash mine, about 20 miles east of Carlsbad New Mexico. The clouds were still pretty bad, but we did see the comet, and I got some pictures with my Canon T7i/800D.
Evening July 15, 2020. Canon T7i/800D, 50mm f/1.8 lens at f/1.8 mounted on an iOptron Sky Tracker Pro. Single 8s and 30s exposures.
