Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE - 28 July 2020

Well past its best here, but still showing the wide dust tail and long ion tail - the latter is faint but can be seen heading right out of the frame in the 10 o'clock position.

20 x 15-second exposures at f/4 and ISO 3200 in moonlight. Canon EOS 7D and Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 lens on a Vixen Polarie star tracker.

Frames stacked on the comet in DeepSkyStacker software; curves and colour balance adjusted in Canon Photo Professional; noise reduced using Cyberlink PhotoDirector.
