There's a relatively bright comet visible in the western sky after sunset. The comet's orbital period is 71.32 years, which is (roughly) halfway between mine and Gus' life expectancy. I wanted to photograph a comet that neither he nor I would be around to see when it next appeared. We found the comet and snapped away as it slowly descended in the western sky. Vale Comet Pons-Brooks.
