This effect applied to a star stack lets the sky appear populated by a trilion of comets. I decided to apply this effect to the scene to get a different night image of the Blue Lake, in Cervinia.
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.
As Neowise started to head for the horizon at about midnight, The Big Dipper took over in the dark sky above. This was taken with the Pitstone Windmill in Buckinghamshire, England in the foreground. The mill is owned by The National Trust and dates back to the 17th century. This gem in the Chiltern countryside is the oldest dated windmill in Britain.
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
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 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
The Very Long Baseline Array is a network of ten observing stations located across the United States. Each station consists of a 25-meter radio antenna dish and a control building. Radio signals captured by each antenna are amplified, digitized and recorded. The recorded data are then sent to Socorro, NM to be processed by a powerful computer known as a correlator. By combining their data, the stations form one of the world’s most powerful radio cameras.

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.

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.

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
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.

For my dear bug loving friend Jun:)
This is a very special moth since it is the only one of its kind at our Butterfly Exhibition just like you are one of a kind special friend. 😘
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?

[Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF]

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)
