Comet Neowise
Comet C/220 F3, generally known as Neowise, captured from my garden.
For anyone interested in viewing this comet, I can tell you that its a lot brighter, larger and more impressive than Halley’s comet which I saw in 1986. You can see it with the naked eye, and if you have better eyesight than me you will be able to make out its tail. Its very low down close to the horizon so you need a fairly unobstructed view to the north. Just look north to north-east after 2.30pm and before dawn and you should be able to see it. If you cant then find a very bight star in that area (Capella), and look little bit down and to the west. If the sky is clear I am sure you will be able to find the comet if your view isn’t obstructed.
360mm - F6.7 - 4 seconds - ISO 2500 (15 stacked frames)
