Neowise

The comet was nicely visible tonight. About an hour and a half after sunset, in the northwest sky, between the big dipper and the horizon. Faint, but very clearly a comet. So cool.

Plus, at the same time, we have a perfect view of both Jupiter and Saturn on the opposite horizon.

And we are camping in a remote enough area to get a clear view of the Milky Way overhead. Beautiful.

Wow, headed into the wilderness for a week myself. Absolutely necessary.

Ooh I'm so jealous of all of you! I can barely get to a place where that part of the horizon is visible, and so far no dice.
