Another look at the comet Neowise when it came to visit. Taken with our trusty nikon d3100 and our Nikkor lens.
If you have taken the time to view, like or comment on our work we offer our sincerest thanks to you, we are truly grateful for your time and support. Best wishes to all.
It was amazing to be there when Comet Neowise was visiting close to the Earth. Hope to get back out this way for some night captures this summer. Will see what the night has to offer.
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
Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) at 85mm focal length (1.5mag), Petershausen, Bavaria, Germany
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!

Inquinamento luminoso dovunque....
Forse è Catalina, troppo incasinato il cielo di 'sta notte!
Mi piace pensare che sei tu.
Poi ci riprovo a riprenderti, non desisto!
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.
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.

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.
Comete C 2022-E3(ZTF) / 80ED / ASI1600MC / 30x120s.
Composite de deux images avec SIRIL et Photoshop (une avec la comète seule et l'autre avec uniquement les étoiles).
My first attempt trying a little more serious astrophotography. Yikes! I took a series of 7 images, each for about 30 sec. Stacked and then processed. The comet is pretty small, and the sky is big, but I think it turned out ok. The learning continues!
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.
When I'm not checking the Christmas artwork, you can find me on Twitter
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.
I forgot I had taken this shot of an old Comet down the road from where I use to live. Wonder where it ended up?

It was very hard to find him and in the end I did it with just 70mm on my camera and lens. Quite a challenge for sure. I now not perfect but for 70mm not to bad :-)

C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is a long-period comet from the Oort cloud that was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) on 2 March 2022.[1] The comet has a bright green glow around its nucleus, due to the effect of sunlight on diatomic carbon and cyanogen.[6][5]
The comet's systematic designation starts with C to indicate that it is not a periodic comet, and "2022 E3" means that it was the third comet to be discovered in the first half of March 2022.[5]
The comet nucleus was estimated to be about a kilometre in size, rotating every 8.7 hours.[7][8] Its tails of dust and gas extended for millions of kilometres and, during January 2022, a third anti-tail was visible.[9]
The comet reached its perihelion on 12 January 2023, at a distance of 1.11 AU (166 million km; 103 million mi), and the closest approach to Earth was on 1 February 2023, at a distance of 0.28 AU (42 million km; 26 million mi). The comet reached magnitude 5 and is visible with the naked eye under moonless dark skies.[10][11][12][13] (Wikipedia)

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.
This absolutely was one of those, how the hell did I achieve that?! Moments. I was outside a Lidl store in Storkow, discovered these spiders clinging to the windows, on the other side of said windows were stacked up plastic bottles, still in their plastic wrapping. This male Bridge Orb Weaver caught my eye, principally due to the extra leg span, as well as the tendency they have to be somewhat more nomadic than the larger females. However, this one was quite still giving me a golden op to get a decent enough macro, BUT, what happened was, the flash went through the window, hit the plastics on the other side bouncing back and with the general debris on the glass, created this space effect.
I cannot fail to also mention the window was peppered with bird shit, which I think also augmented the effect, thus the Comet Catcher was created.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
Fuselage of the first commercial jet airliner (1952), exhibited in the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, Hertfordshire. The de Havilland Comet was probably the most beautiful jet airliner ever built (with four jet engines built into the wings). A couple of fatal accidents due to metal fatigue and other factors, blackened the reputation of this plane. Though the next generation of the Comet was safe (and all other aircraft manufacturers learned from the debacle of the Comet) the company never recovered from its loss of reputation.
