Neowise - 7/12/2020 - Dawn - 9 minutes of exposure #Explored

I collected some data on comet neowise early on 7/12/2020 from 3:30am to about 4:30am. There was a haze over the valley and the sun approaching the horizon created a very tough gradient to process, I just ended up leaving the gradient alone. I stretched this pretty hard to reveal all of the detail of the comet. I really hope the sky is clear later this month when the comet is in the evening sky so I can go again and collect some gradient free data. I actually gathered about a hour of data but I have yet to master the comet alignment and stacking procedure.

 

This is 18x 30s exposures guided on a zeq25 equatorial mount

using a Samyang 135mm lens at F2, iso 1600 and a Sony A7RIII.
