5. Thanks!

These photos are with a Nikon Z5 and 24-200 zoom.

The comet was barely visible to my eyes, so I just put the camera on wide, let it expose as long as it wanted, and used the flat panel to locate the comet and later zoom in.

Given that I didn't elevate the camera a lot, the viewfinder was out, and I used the home screen of the phone to light up the controls, so I could see which button is which.

Thanks for the kind words. There are two aspects in my photography. One is to capture the mood of the scene and the second is to capture detail that the eye normally misses. So, your comments are most gratifying.
