Details:
After weeks of trying to get a clear shot of the comet, I finally succeeded this morning. The problem has been huge levels of forest fires smoke from both Arizona and California making for dim foggy and very red sunrise skies. Not the best for a comet that is only 2 degrees above the horizon! Here was our last attempt this morning, which the smoke cleared enough to get a nice shot. Now it will head behind the Sun and will be an evening object for us.
