Last night was rather epic stargazing, The Milky Way to my left, Neowise comet to the right. Had about two hours of filming in before almost total cloud cover, but very much enjoyed filming and watching Jazz chase critters on the beach. Beautiful night, and best imaging of the comet so far. It is not real easy for me to focus on an object 64 million miles away, but did a better job of it last night.

I also enjoyed all the calls and facebook messages last night, everyone was calling trying to find out where it was, or they had just spotted it, had folks drive over from the Beach as well, very exciting. We really do have awesome skies here on the Shore, among the best on the East Coast for stargazing.

Tonight is the New Moon, so if it is clear, you will get a show of a lifetime with the Milky Way and the comet. Both shots were taken about 2 miles south of Cape Charles by water. Very dark and clear skies, have fun folks.
