Tonight, as the comet dims, I used a vintage 20 mm f/2.8 AIS Nikkor lens (film camera lens) at f/4 (one of my son's very nice lenses that is here for whatever reason). Why? It is much easier to focus to "infinity" in the dark than the 35 mm DX lens I was using earlier! The latter focuses past infinity* and has no distance scale, so it was kind of tedious. I focused on Venus and hoped I didn't bump it when I used it! 
Tonight I played with ISO sensitivity and shutter speeds. Nothing earth-shaking, but it was warmer outside tonight than the last couple of nights, so I had more fun!
FWIW, I like the darker image.
(EDIT: still not critically focused -- although the exposure time/earth's rotation may have been a factor, too. )
____________
* I will leave it to the more metaphysically-inclined to ponder the ramifications, if any -- besides making focusing "at infinity" tedious with such lenses. In seriousness, my son tells me the 'play' in infinity is to allow for the thermal properties (expansion) of the fancy glass (fluorite, or whatever) lenses(?)

Yes, I prefer the darker one because it is not overexposed obviously like the other. But both are useful for their own reasons.Tonight, as the comet dims, I used a vintage 20 mm f/2.8 AIS Nikkor lens (film camera lens) at f/4 (one of my son's very nice lenses that is here for whatever reason).

"Villefranche sur Mer", South East of France, a beautiful town founded in 1292 by the Mediterranean Sea.
"Villefranche sur Mer" means Villefranche above the sea...

Starting to plan a trip to France for next September. Recently returned from a fabulous trip to London, Edinburgh, and Inverness.

One of the highlights of my two birding trips to Ireland a while back was seeing one of these beauties.

Villefranche-sur-Mer has been the filming location for dozens of movies (James Bond: Never Say Never Again, To Catch A Thief, Ronin, The Transporter, etc.). I once drove along the entire coast of the French Riviera and was very impressed.
