The moon looked amazing last night! I didn't shoot any of the comet, but was able to see it and watch it for a little bit.

I agree, there was a lot of crater detail on the very narrow crescent.

Another side note: With Jupiter being near opposition its moons are easily visible with binoculars. I picked up Callisto, Ganymede and Europa (Io was hidden) while out last night.

We've tried to see it in Urbandale over the last 5 nights but haven't been able to spot it even on clear nights - light pollution probably the culprit. But some cool pics in this thread!

While photographing the comet Wednesday evening here is what was at my back.

Not long to wait for the Perseids....

Saw it the last 2 nights, but with the light pollution it is hard.
