This is a closeup of the comet from a couple of nights ago. It is not taken with a telephoto lens. That would require a piece of equipment that tracks the sky which I don’t have. Instead it is taken with a 55mm lens and cropped tight.
Amazingly, 10 satellites can be seen in this photo of a small piece of the sky. You may not be able to see them depending on what computer or phone you are reading this post.
Most of the satellites are Space X communication satellites. It is amazing how many more there are than only a few years ago.There is something about them, that I can’t put my finger on that makes me uneasy. When I see so many it makes me think the world is going down the shitter. I don’t know why I have this feeling.

I went outside the other night when it was nice and dark and clear to have a look for the comet but didn’t really know what time or what direction I should be looking in – nor how good my eyesight needed to be. Needless to say, I don’t think I saw it.
I can see those satellite tracks on my screen. I saw some kind of satellite configuration one night – it was several satellites in an exactly straight line (not sure if it’s the ones you mention or not). I could see that, with the perfect alignment, they weren’t stars and had no idea what they were. I was starting to think a cluster of UFOs flying in formation or suchlike… Anyway, I googled it and found out what they were. They belonged to Elon Musk or someone I think…

Actually, just googled Space X and it was those – alternative name ‘Starlink constellation’

Very nice images. I can also make out a faint anti-tail pointing down to the right. I plan to get out tonight for one more look before clouds come in.
