The comet was supposed to be close to Mars tonight. Using three different cameras, various exposures, and binoculars, I did not see a comet near Mars.
The above image was from the live sky on SkySafariWeb. The image below is from Celestron’s website. I’m in MST, which was 7:00 PM when the above photos were taken.
The night sky with whispy clouds from a couple of nights ago.
We got a dusting of snow on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
Clouds over the Sandias before sunset on Wednesday afternoon.
Sunset on Wednesday evening.
Off Center & Not Even 
You my not have gotten the comet but you got some really fabulous photos!
Thanks, Dale. I’m puzzled. It should show up. But it must be really faint from my location.
I guess. You definitely tried, though!
Agree with Dale! Especially the colour changes in that last image.
Thanks, Geoff.
Thanks for trying to spot the comet. The starry skies are beautiful, even if the comet wasn’t visible. MST – you are an hour ahead of us. You have certainly had some variable weather and that sunset is gorgeous.
Thanks, Lavinia.
That last image is amazing Timothy.
Thanks, Cindy.
As the dudes would say….’It is so not fair.’ But hey the pics made up for it.
Comets have no sense of fairness, that’s for sure. Thanks, Shey and Dudes.
YOu are welcome Timothy.
I think the comet is playing hide and seek… or just hide! But who cares when you get such a gorgeous night sky and painter views! 🙏
It would be just another streak in the sky. We don’t need astrogation. We don’t need no night control. We don’t need no dark starlight photos. Hey! Astrophotographers! Leave those comets alone.
The painter does like make a splash in winter clouds. Thanks, Marina.
I can hear it coming!!!! 😉
Painter is wise!
Superb pictures – my favourite is the second from last. Enjoy the weekend. 🙂
Thanks, Janet.
You have patience Tim… watching that night sky… Loved the sprinkle of snow and Sunset… Enjoy your weekend 🙂
Thanks, Sue.
I particularly like the dusing of snow photo.
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Great photos Timothy
Thanks, Holly.
great shots.. I know you zoomed all you can. when does it come again. Those skies are amazing shots! 💗
Thanks, Cindy. It will come back in 50,000 years. I’m not going to hold my breath for this one.
Oh boy… no you aren’t .. keep zooming lol💞
Between the sky shots and landscapes and that sky(!) wow, Tim!! Too bad you didn’t find the comet …. what a disappointment that had to have been. However, you get an A+ for effort!!! That counts too!!
Thanks, AmyRose.
Stunning photography, Tim.
Thanks, Jeff.
I gave up on the comet before it was visible after reading that it would only be a green dot.
I love the snow pic with the multicolor sky!
No Eeeven a dot. Thanks, Leenda.
Friend of mine (Brad) alerted me to the comet so I went out and checked Sunday (too hazy) and then again last night, but no luck. Think my treeline may have eclipsed it for me. Like the dusting shots – shockingly enough, we’ve hit 50s last couple of days, but the more accustomed snow is coming Thursday.
It was overcast last night. I think the thing is simply to faint for a meager non-astronomer like me to capture. Thanks, Brian.
Next time!
So, while I was here, I checked for Dale’s tree and Peach blossoms for the new “Gowntoons”. Found them with the search! Yay!
Cool. No blossoms this time of year. We’ve had a couple of dusting of snow. Thanks, Resa.
I got a gorgeous pic!!!!
BTW the Green Comet will be back in 50,000 years. Not holding my breath.
Well, if you did hold your breath I think you’d make it into the Guinness Book of World Records! Tee hee!
I suppose I would. The Guinness Book of World Records records currently stands at around 53,000 world records, an average of 791 records a year since its inception in 1955. At it’s current rate, it will have 39,550,000 world records in 50,000 years. If I can hold my berth until the Green Comet comes around again, I will have the 39,550,001st world record.
