Accepted? Hihi
Finally managed to get out and shoot the comet. One shot for the comet iso 3200 @2.8 25 secs and one for foreground iso 800 @2.8 25 secs
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.

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.

#Peel
The mighty asteroid Cucumis, a space traveller from the faraway Cucurbitaceae galaxy, is finally about to enter Earth's stratosphere. Will it burn out or will Earth face its deadly impact?
Well, the latter was the case, but Cucumis' impact went unnoticed by 99 percent of all Earthlings. It left, however, a notable mess on my photo table... The theme is "Peel", and what looks like a huge watermelon is a thin strip of cucumber peel. The resemblance doesn't come as a surprise, though, because melons and cucumbers (and also zucchini and pumpkins) all belong to the gourd family.
The idea was to backlight the cucumber peel and make it look like a planet. To achieve that effect, I put the peel directly around the front part of my small LED flashlight but it didn't stay in place. So I used an elastic band and wrapped it around the peel and the flashlight. That did the trick but the results still looked a little boring. So today, I had the idea to use coloured light and make the longer part of the cucumber peel that was wrapped to the side of the small flashlight look like a red-hot comet's tail. Focus stacking yielded the best results in defining the rather soft pattern a cucumber peel has and it also allowed me to better control the transition into blur on the comet's tail.
The diameter of the flashlight's front part is 1,5 cm / 0,59 inches.
HMM, Everyone, and have a nice week ahead!

Comet C/2023 P1 Nishimura at 85 mm focal length (4.1 mag), Obermarbach, Bavaria, Germany
Komet C2023 P1 Nishimura_2
Another take on this spetacular comet. A single image capturing a familiar constellation above Chesterton Windmill and the light pollution from Birmingham and Coventry beneath it. Judicious light painting with an LED torch to give a little definition to the windmill.
This is an untracked photo of Comet C/2022 E3 and Mars taken at the Ashley River Reserve, north of Waikuku village, on the evening of 11th February 2023. There are star trails due to the focal length of the lens and the 3.2 second exposure time. There was also intermittent cloud.
The Sky is classified as Bortle Class 4 based on a light pollution map.
15 raw images 8 sec each and 5 darks frames stacked in Sequator to reduce the noise..I used a Sigma 35mm Art 1.4 and a canon 5d mark iv iso 4000
I took this back in 2007 in the days long before I had a decent digital camera. The only one I had to hand on the night was my 3D or stereo medium format film camera. From memory, this was a 15 second exposure with 100 ISO film. It was taken from my home in Burnie, Tasmania and the illuminated buildings belong to Hellyer College. How I would have loved today's cameras back then!
