Y’all! We had auroras and a comet in the same week! Later that week, we watched a rocket after it launched from Cape Canaveral.
In truth, the auroras were a faint purple glow with a naked eye, but through an iPhone camera they were amazing.
In some ways, this was even cooler because it almost seemed like the phone was cracking some mysterious sky images.
We also saw the 80,000 year comet, C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS). These photos are from the first night it was visible.
We tried to view it through the week as it got progressively higher from the horizon and fainter.
Starlink sent a rocket up – we had some excited dock neighbors watching with us
It seemed like the booster/rocket separation happened right in front of us.

SO envious that you got to see the comet! Nice pics and congrats 🙌
