I drove roughly two hours outside of Kansas City just to get far enough away from the city lights for this shot. Standing out there in the dark, watching the sky and waiting, I was able to capture Comet C/2023 A3 as it moved across the night. As the sun slowly set, I started to watch the comet appear on the horizon. Seeing something that distant with my own eyes, and then getting it in a photo, made the whole drive completely worth it. Moments like this are why I love getting out and chasing the night sky.
