Comet Nishimura • 5:24 AM, September 09, 2023

            Bottom to top: Vista House, The Columbia River, Beacon Rock, lights to the right of Beacon Rock are at the Bonneville Dam, the comet is just right of center of the image in the constellation Leo. The comet - which was not visible even in binoculars - rose over the distance hills to the left of Vista House and Beacon Rock around 4:30 AM; but the thanks to the murk on the horizon it didn't become visible, even in the photos on the back of the camera, until 5:19 AM; by which time dawn was well underway and the comet was considerably higher in the sky. There were only four other people at the Women's Forum, two of whom had 5" telescopes in which the comet was only a fuzzy green ball. It was nice sweater weather with no wind.
