The comet was seen for the last time here in Arizona, only a few degrees up in the western sky still half an hour before dark in a brilliant skyline. Lots of smoke from nearby forest burns made for a very orange sunset. this shot was a stack of 5s subs and shows the Orion Nebula in the upper right corner and the greenish comets head in the lower left. No tail was seen or imaged.
