I knew I only had a short amount of time to get a photo. My phone APP kept telling me the comet was above the horizon, but I could not find it. In the dark it is hard to know if there are any clouds above the horizon or not. Finally, out it popped, and then the scramble to compose a shot, before the sunlight washed it all away.
