Details:
Shot through the valley of Cave Creek Canyon at 6 and 5 degrees above an absolute horizon, but the canyon is visible in the second shot as the comet got low. I was able to shoot it for 40 minutes but the lowest shot shows the comet brightest. It's 2 tails are visible in these shots. Hopefully in the coming nights I will be able to get good shots as the comet rises higher in the sky.
