With the talk about the new comet, C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinan-Atlas) possibly outshining 1997's Hale Bopp in October 2024, my attention turned to Comet Neowise (C/2020 F3), that fabulous comet that graced our skies in July 2020.
For this image I traveled to the sacred Lakota mountain of Bear Butte in Sturgis, SD, hoping that the comet would reflect in Bear Butte Lake and it did!!
Adding a little sparkle, the marshes were light-painted by a passing car.
As for the new comet, we will just have to wait and see if it survives its trip around the sun. At Badlands Observatory, we're waiting for the magnitude to increase a bit before turning our 26"/f4.8 Newtonian Reflector telescope on it for a first look.
This is a five panel pano taken with a Nikon D850 and Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens turned portrait style.

Komet C2020F3 (NEOWISE)_02
One of the early captures of the comet there over this pretty section of Arizona captured while we were traveling from the north rim of the Grand Canyon back to our hotel there at Marble Canyon.
Comet Neowise streaks across the sky in the Badlands of South Dakota!
Not the best image with some cloudiness and haze in the sky, but was pretty successful using just long exposure. Most people who got terrific shots used multiple shots and stacking.
Thanks for comments and Explore while I was away!

Comet Neowise is soon to set on the day it makes its closest pass to Earth. Even though it's at it's closest, it's amazing how much it has dimmed over the span of the last week as it got further and further away from the Sun. Seen from an undisclosed location in Northern Illinois.
This is the companion shot for the previous post, this one showing all three tiers of these magnificent falls. This was taken mid August, what must this look like in April?
The fairly large parking lot at the Comet Falls/VanTrump trail head was packed much to my dismay so I parked at Christine Falls and walked back down. Now I know why.... Smart people take this short hike when it's 98 degrees and stand under this fall to cool off. Not me, lost some weight on that day. :-)
Comet C/2020 F3
(Bear from the North)
Looking directly North
On the left top side can be seen the last 4 brightest stars of the constellation Ursa Major(Big Dipper)(Plough) the Great Bear. The last two bright stars of Ursa Major point to Polaris the Pole star North Star. I purposely left the power lines in this shot to underline the significance of this great sign. Comet NEOWISE is moving directly under the Great bear constellation from right to left,East to West nightly. Right to left is the Hebrew way of reading and the number 3) Who is the Bear from the North? Comet at its brightest underlining Ursa Major and then starting to fade later.It is also over top of Leo Minor and the great constellation LEO as it journeys further in space.

I had recently reworked this stack with a new workflow and wanted to upload it again.
This stack is a stack of nearly identical images (only a couple degrees of rotation of the heavens difference between each consecutive shot taken one after the other). It is not a composite of different images.
Knowing that, if you are paying attention, you may find yourself scratching your head as to how I got this shot.
Inspired by last year's bright comet. Van Gogh's style fitted my aims well. Painted in acrylics during non-use of a camera enforced by a vision issue
Pretty sure its not an airplane, but I really don't know what this is. The tail looks like a comet, but the red has me confused. All the captures of Comet C/2021 Leonard have green in them not red. I did have an astro filter on the camera. Pointed in the SW sky @ 6:37 PM Pacific time.

Public art for Christmas – It was made for Christmas 2007. This spiky blue "Comet Glass Star" displayed at Campo Santo Stefano was made by the artist Simone Cenedese in Murano. Across the canal is San Pietro Martire, a church with history dating to the 1300s.

Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) continues to decorate the evenings of the southern hemisphere. At dusk it shines on the horizon along with the last lights of the setting Sun. In this photograph, taken with a Nikon D5600 camera and a Nikkor 135 mm lens, it looks bright and imposing over a curtain of Eucalyptus. Enjoying the scene with the family has become part of the last hours of the afternoon.
January 22, 00:00 UT.
It was hazy but I was able to capture Comet NEOWISE over the city of Richland, WA from Badger Mountain. To the left is Candy mountain (front) and Rattlesnake Mountain (back), I think.
It was actually pretty dark at around 10PM but the comet was too faint we couldn't see it by naked eyes.
A composite image - just had to move the comet over a tad for aesthetic purposes (being I went down to Manukau Harbour to specifically try and get this shot). Auckland New Zealand
Probably my first and last opportunity for seeing this comet.
We certainly missed the main event, however this is all I can muster from light polluted Melbourne at approx magnitude 5.

If you look at the comet with your eyes slightly averted left or right, the comet tail pops out a little more. This is a well known method for seeing feint objects in the night sky. Seems to work here for me, let me know if you can see the feint detail.
