Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS
#7
It's still visible, and with the moon not having risen the sky is relatively dark:

You have the Galactic center on the left, a very bright Venus just above the horizon, and the comet. Unfortunately, the webcam image is not sensitive enough to see the anti-tail, which in a 2-D image like this would point almost directly downward from the comet's nucleus and indicate the comet's motion.

PS. For orientation in the attached picture, I believe the light from the ground comes from Kailua-Kona (directly below Venus), Waimea (far right), and Waikoloa Village between Kailua and Waimea.
