Moonlight makes comet viewing difficult

The 4.9-d moon was still in the sky as Comet Lemmon set behind Bristol Head.  This extra illumination makes viewing and photographing the comet more difficult.  I could still see the bright coma without optical aid, but the tail will become harder to see as the moon becomes brighter night by night.

Photographed with a Sony A7iii + Samyang 85mm AF f/1.4 FEII lens.
