I got stuck in traffic trying to get out of NYC and didn't arrive at
my viewing site until 7:20.  I hastily set up and took a couple of
shots, but am not very optimistic.

I did get my film back from last week's attempt.  This is the one
where I set up hastily and forgot to check the f-stop on the lens.  I
shot 8 frames at f/16!  I had the lab do a 3-stop push and amazingly,
there *is* a comet on the film.  As soon as I can get it scanned, I'll
see what I really have.
