All week I had been planning on heading out to the the dark-skies of the Cowboy Trail west of Calgary near Millarville to check out the comet Neowise, hoping to maybe get a photograph or 2 of the rare event, I think I'm booked the next time it comes around 6800 or whatever years from now.

The best night was supposed to be July 23, but clouds, a severe thunderstorm warning and an early start for work the next day killed that plan. Saturday the 25th was a blue blazer that carried into the evening so I headed out to see what there was to see.

As it turns out, for me it wasn't much, I didn't capture anything memorable of the comet, although I may try again tonight (26th) although it's dimming considerably as the days go on, there may not be much to see tonight. We shall see.

What I did manage was a decent set of the waxing moon setting over the foothills. I've sorted out a short sequence right when the moon went behind the hills.

Until next time, enjoy!
Dean.
