C/2023 P1 (Nishimura)

Was fortunate enough to be under clear skies just before Comet Nishimura left the northern hemisphere, not to be seen again for another 435 years.

I had to fight the blinding light of the waning blue supermoon that was full only 2 days before, but I think it came out nicely all things considered. I'm just glad I caught it.
