Comet C/2023 A3 next to the Milky Way and over the San Juan River, Utah. There's a big oxbow cutoff canyon that the river flows in that's barely visible in the dark portion of this photograph. As with my earlier comet photos, a moonlight, fill light is really helpful when photographing comets. Some moonlight would have been helpful to illuminate the canyon walls in this shot.

@elaterite , this is beautiful and I very much needed to see it.
@elaterite
What a splendid photo!!

@elaterite

Is that at goosenecks? I've got some great lightning shots from there.

I was at Mono Lake last week shooting the comet, with the tufa formations in the foreground. I waited till the moon had barely popped up, then refocused and exposed for the tufa. If it looks nice, I'll composite the two images. There's really no way to do it otherwise.

How beautiful, and I needed this as well, thank you
