"they’re starting to run out..."

"...until the next shipment comes in, but nobody knows when that will be)."

These sound like descriptions of dystopian 'workers paradise' things: shortages, information shortfalls, slow traveling news.

Is this the United States? 
 Comet C/2023 P1 Nishimura !!!

07 Sept - part deux

Two views, 135mm lens...clouds, haziness, moonlight on clouds.

It's a #Mood

This is a stack of 154 images (1.5 seconds exposure) when the comet was not obscured by clouds, and morning twilight was not too bright.

This is an example of what you can do in a dark sky, with relatively simple equipment (fixed tripod, many short exposures.)

Friday will probably be my last chance for this morning apparition. In six days or so, the comet will be very, very low in the west right after sunset.

Recap - Thursday (135mm lens)
