On the night sky and chasing comets

This month, there were opportunities to see a comet without the aid of any telescope. The last time that happened was during the peak of the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic back in 2020. Unfortunately, this was not to be again as we had mostly cloudy skies and I just couldn't have it clear enough to see the comet. Instead, I got these photos of the sunset and clouds shrouding the super moon.

I am not certain there will be another opportunity to see a comet in the future but the night sky has always been fascinating and has provided unique images such as these photos.
