Comets are icy remnants from the early days of our solar system, composed of dust, rock, and frozen gases. While often imagined as fiery objects streaking across the sky, comets only develop their iconic glowing tails when they venture close to the sun.
As they near the sun, the heat causes their ices to vaporize, releasing gas and dust that form a glowing coma and a long tail that can stretch millions of miles into space.
In their original state, before heating up, comets can range in size from just a few miles to tens of miles across. But once their materials start to sublimate and expand near the sun, they can appear larger than most planets.

The 1st image captured early evening October 10th.  Between the clouds and smoke I was only able to capture a few images before the clouds got thicker.  Forecast showed it would be clear by 4am.  The other 2 images captured after 5 am on Oct 11th.  

Took the dogs out for a potty break and the lights were gorgeous!  I've been without a camera for a while so just took with my cell phone handheld.

Partial Eclipse blacking out 8% of the lunar disk. Harvest Moon is when its closest to the northern autumnal equinox.

Early morning hours September 13th along with some lingering smoke from the wildfires and wind.

A star trail is a type of photograph that uses long exposure times to capture diurnal circles, the apparent motion of stars in the night sky due to Earth's rotation. A star-trail photograph shows individual stars as streaks across the image, with longer exposures yielding longer arcs.

Lights appeared shortly after 9 pm August 30th. From 1:30 am until 2:30 am Lady Aurora was dancing up a storm! 

Evening of August 11 into early morning of August 12th and the storm continues
