I had to look closely to find it, but it was there and you got a clear shot.

The comet's now reportedly visible to the unaided eye, but I couldn't see it with binoculars. I knew where to point the camera with a wide-angle (14mm) lens and it picked up what my eyes couldn't detect. I made the image big to include the rooftops for some context.

Giving this cool photo a whole new context.

Everything is going to be fine.
I wish I could say the same for my feelings about Netflix.
