Yeah, and after I saw that photo, I've been keeping an eye out as the sun sets.That is when it is visible here. The weather is not cooperating though! Just in October I've read. Several other people posted photos they got too but this was the best one. Pretty spectacular!

Yeah, this is the brightest comet for a long time. I used to have a very nice telescope with a camera attachment when i lived up on the mountain with very dark skies but here in town the lights are too much to make it usable so I sold it.

Here are 2 pictures taken today. One is the Arched window, complete, with a 3" Band that I had wanted, and the second is the wall towards the road, which will be the first thing that one will see.

Wally, I don't remember if you said or not, if you did, I failed the memory test! Did you replace the 13 with the new 16? If so how do you like it? Is it a huge step up from the 143? Inquiring minds want to know.   ~ cat ~

No, I replaced the 13 with a 15 PRO mainly because I liked the camera features the PRO offered. Other than that there is very little difference between the 13 and the 15. It is probably going to be quite a while before I want to get another phone.

Yeah, me too. I'm thinking this 13 may be my last phone.  Well, maybe one more, don't want to jinx myself!

Yeah, unless you are someone that just can't wait for the latest and greatest these phones will be good for a very long time. I am kind of a geek that way some times and get something new just because it is new and don't really need it.

I took some photos but the extension .heic won't post. And for some reason I can't email them to myself which usually changes the extension to .jpeg. I could only go to notes or messages, but they stayed .heic in messages and now I don't have time to play anymore. Will try when I get back home later. 

Frustrating!

I emailed 4 photos to you. I am going to post one here just to test if they did in fact change to .jeg.

Well, I guess that didn't work either.  Darn, now I have to figure out how to be able to post my photos here.  Weird again!!

This will not work. You could mail them to me and I'll post them.

Thanks, but not necessary. I emailed them to Wally directly. What bugs me is with the iphone7 I took a photo, in Photos the extension was something that wouldn't load. So then using "Share" gave me the option to email it, so I sent it to myself. Then from my mail I could drag it to the forum and it was a .jpeg. I did the same thing with the 13, but from mail when I dragged it to post it showed what you see in my previous post.

I don't know what is different now. I haven't heard from Wally yet to see if the photos came through for him.

I am not having very good luck lately with techie stuff!!!  ~sad~

I did get your photos and I feel kind of stupid because the cable is a standard printer cable that they have been using for years on printers. I should have looked at mine to see what the printer port was.  So many things have changed to a type C port I was not sure it had changed on the printer. I don't use a cable on mine because I have it connected by wireless to my PC. The cable you need is:
Printer cable type C

This will plug into your printer and directly into your laptop or into your hub, what you call your  Hyper Drive.
