NEOWISE.
Even though this comet is losing viewing intensity, I chose to take a bunch of images for stacking under darker skies than near my heavily light polluted home area.
20 quick images with the 300mm lens at f/2.8, iso 16,000, at 1.6 seconds per exposure, 2 second intervals (NR off), no tracking. Even after 40 seconds, the comet had not moved much relative to the stars.
In PS, I manually aligned the images, averaged, and massaged the image in my rookie ways, and here we are!
