New comet Machholz-Fujikawa-Iwamoto (C/2018 V1) showing two tails.  I took this right at the end of the best time for observations before the moon interfered.   Unfortunately, I did not have much time to shoot it, since it didn’t rise out of the low-elevation muck until after astronomical twilight started.   Oh, well… I did my best.   28 subs is not too bad.

I was at my “dark” site shooting this.   Could have gone better.   I had equipment problems and other issues and wasted lots of time trying to get the mount calibrated.  To top it off, my dead-end road spot was invaded by duck hunters arriving before dawn to hunt.   I lost about 10 subs from their vehicle headlights.
