I'm going to keep trying with the comet, but it's just too faint to capture well. I took this one at the Huntington Beach pier, just before the comet dropped below some developing fog and disappeared. This is a composite picture since I needed a long exposure for the comet but a shorter exposure for the pier. It's also been processed to within an inch of its life and it's still barely visible. I never saw it with my naked eye even though the preview photos told me exactly where it was.
In a couple of days maybe I'll try again in a darker spot.
Still kewl.
We got a nice photo from a handheld apple iphone 15. My google pixel 8 pretty much sucked. It was visible to the naked eye where we were, but the apple iphone pulled out more detail.

I think we saw it last night (in central NC), thanks to your heads-up. But I thought it was just a star. Now that I see your photo, maybe it was the comet after all....
