Thanks Nasos.
Great moon capture Nasos.

Think I'm kind of messed up with a couple different  night themes going.
I'll stay in this one.
Here are a couple of the comet from last night along the northern Oregon coast.
Kept reading where it was visible about 15 minutes after sunset. Sunset for us last night was 6:12 pm. Was getting a little discouaged waiting, trying to be patient. While finally about 7:38 pm I 'm looking threw the binoculars and  see  the comet.
While waiting for the comet just had to take sunset shots.
Sunset and first comet it shot with the 70-200. The last with the pf 500.

LOL, Nasos, that is laughingly identical to mine!  Beautiful shot.

Ken, these are also envious shots.  Nicely captured!

Another nice sidelighting capture, Nasos.

Thanks Nasos.

Nice sunset Ken, it certainly belongs here and I think the comet is still within our solar system so it certainly belongs here too for the moment.   ;D
Wow, untracked capture with the 500PF - quite challenging and you did quite well with the definition of the core.

Thank you Brute, Akira, Oivid :)

Brute these are nice captures and  you are right it need  a lot of patience to find the right moment :)
500 pf isn’t an easy option to capture this comet, f5.6 is limited. The better choice is 300-400mm f4 or f2.8 is more welcome, stacking shots is a very good technique to have the best results

These don't compare with some previous shots posted here but it was nice to get the 300mm + 1.4TC out on my D500 again

Very nice atmosphere, Colin!  Your rig does show its pleasing potential.

Nice clear atmosphere, Colin.

Same thought - I happened to capture the same earlier this evening, but timing brought Venus a bit further away from Luna. First one a crop from 85mm f./1.8 @f/4 the second a crop from the 300mm PF, both on Z8.

I like the contrast between the purplish sky and yellowish moon!

We had a very similar inspiration, Colin.
Nice background, Øivind. Marine horizon here, so not much to show.
Unfortunately, clouds are back, the occultation this evening will be a no show :(

Colin, Øivind, Bruno - count me in. Reminds me of the idea everyone is taking a photo at exactly the same time all over the world.

Hey, what a lovely synergy and thank you all for your comments

And so nice that across N America, Europe, Asia & maybe elsewhere we all had clear enough skies on the same nght!

Øivind has managed to capture the colours that i saw on Thursday night when the "newer", thinner crescent moon was just above the horizon and a pink/orange colour....but i didnt have my camera :(
