It’s been clear the last few nights, so I’ve been out every night to capture Comet NEOWISE as it moves across the sky. My pictures have been photobombed by an airplane (alternating red and green lights are the airplane give-away) and a satellite! My satellite tracking tool suggests the satellite photobomber was Orbiting Astronomical Observatory (OAO) 2.
