Craters of the Moon in a San Cristobal, early morning sky. I went out to photograph Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE this morning. I was up early but not early enough to get a good shot of NASA’s Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE). I could see it just fine, but the sky was too bright around it. So, I had a cup of tea and checked out the moon in the opposite part of the sky. I was transfixed observing her craters, my tea got cold. Slightly west of the la luna, Jupiter and it’s moons were equally mesmerizing. I’ll get up much earlier tomorrow and see what I can do with the comet. Never a wasted moment. Thanks for looking. G
If you’re interested here are a few links to Comet PANSTARRS I photographed in March 2013 over a period of two weeks

Yes, never a wasted moment. Thank you for finding them and sharing. Lovely moon shot.
I’ll keep doing it so keep on enjoying, and thank you Jamie for following along all thses years. G
I really like the clarity of all the moon’s imperfections. The toning also works well.
You should see the clarity on the RAW image. This is a color image. The color is in the moonlight. Thanks Ron. G
I was out too late, another photographer told me how I’d missed the comet. My coffee got cold. I’ll wait for the evening comet now.
Heading out soon for this evening’s shoot. I’m not a 3:30am kinda guy. Thanks Larry, I’ll look forward to seeing what you get. G
