Comet Watch

For the past two nights, Lisa and I have been trying to get a look at Comet NEOWISE. While Fernley isn't as brightly lit as Reno/Sparks, it's still too bright to see the comet. Friday night we tried going north on NV-447. This had the advantage of putting the lights of Reno/Sparks and Fernley behind us, but there was a limit to how far we could go

Kern and I saw it through binoculars Saturday night from Hayward, light pollution and all. I couldn't hold the binoculars steady enough to be 100% sure, but I thought I was seeing a tail on the top star of that triangle. Your photo confirms it -- Thanks!
