In March 2013, I went out to Brooklyn hoping to photograph Comet PANSTARRS (C/2011 L4). Urban skies and timing were not on my side, and the comet never became visible from my location. Instead, the evening delivered something else — a dramatic sunset over New York City.
These images capture the transition from daylight to night as seen from Brooklyn, New York City, with the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge silhouetted against vivid clouds and fading twilight. Even when astrophotography plans fail, the sky often offers a different reward.

Note: A few years later, from the same Brooklyn location, conditions were much better and I was finally able to photograph a comet. See Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) visible in NYC .
