I had only two nights in late January, 2023, with short windows of clear skies between North Pacific storms, to attempt to image this fast-moving comet. On the first night, I tried using a 135 mm Rokinon lens to ensure that I could capture the entire tail of the comet that was predicted to be remarkably long. The tail turned out to be much shorter than predicted, and I decided to switch to a refractor telescope with a 500 mm focal length for the second night. Then, after only a short window of time, clouds from the next Pacific storm abruptly curtailed my imaging session. Fortunately, it was enough to produce a viable image.
