A scenic and hilly landscape is shown just before sunrise. On the left is Comet Nishimura near the horizon with a long tail fading off toward the top of the frame. On the right is a bright spot that is Venus. The sunrise sky is dark blue at the top but morphs into tan at the horizon, while the foreground hills are green.

How beautiful! Drat, that my skies were cloudy this morning, no Venus, no comet to be seen. Thanks for this!

seems as elusive as trying to site Mercury. I suppose morning could have a chance at being clearer. And I guess moving to evening twilight soon?
