We heard that the comet was visible after sundown, so we took a camera and tripod down to the lake for the 9:30 dog walk. The sky was still way to light to see anything, and the mosquitoes were really going to town (this is the first time we've had issues with them on our walks).
We cruised home and juiced up with the deep woods bug spray and waited a bit for darkness to fall. When we got back to the lake at 10:30, we finally got to see the comet. It was so faint, it took our eyes a while to acclimate enough to be able to pick it up. Not bad for being in the middle of a metro area.
