Comet Neowise

Когда бегущая комета

Улыбкой ласковой привета

Любила поменяться с ним*

 

* I tried to find a half- decent translation of Lermontov into English, but I doubt it exists..

 

We were finally blessed with clear skies, so I went out at night to watch Neowise. Seeing moon rising and sunrise was an additional bonus of pulling an all-nighter :)

I believe that the two very bright stars to the left of Neowise belong to Ursa Major (or the Great Bear) constellation: Iota Ursae Majoris (or Talitha) and Kappa Ursae Majoris - they basically represent two front paws of the Great Bear.

Takumar 50mm, f1.4, 8 photos @ 1.3sec each, stacked together in Sequator.

First time using Sequator, so still learning, but not too unhappy about the first result..
