Clear and cold on the final night of September, the Moon was incredibly bright, with strengthening Mars following just to the East.

Between my first sighting of C/2020 F3 on the 13th of July to my second sighting on the 16th was a period of unusable cloud cover.

A comet and two planets, not too bad for one night.

Here is another “by chance” image. I was outside early evening to photograph the rising Moon with my Canon EOS, to get a daytime shot.

I knew I had to act quickly to photograph them, as they were moving fast and I didn’t know how long they would be visible or if more were coming.

I took a number of images of the nebula, playing around with the exposure and ISO settings.
