Halloween Comet

Last night was Halloween (how’s that for stating the obvious). I brought out the 8-inch Dob and set up by our stoop to show trick-or-treaters the comet (and yes, we also gave out candy). The weather was not very cooperative with clouds in the northeast until about 7:50pm by which point most trick-or-treaters were packing it in. A few hardy (and mostly older) souls still stopped by until about 8:45 at which point I gave up and went in.

Even after the clouds dissipated, they left behind a high-level haze that impaired the contrast. Still, some went away excited and a couple had to be reminded to take some candy, too.
