Comet Neowise between the clouds. I'm struggling to get clear skies to capture more detail in the comet, I had a brief window early this morning and even at that there was light cloud.
A closer look reveals two tails, it's ionized tail pointing away from the Sun and the much larger dust tail fanning out. I wish the skies were a little bit darker, it would be fabulous against a dark sky.
A very early and rewarding morning...couldn’t believe how bright this comet was, easily visible to the naked eye...

Okay, sometimes it sucks to go out late to take a photo, but I guess leaving the comfort zone can lead to nice results from time to time.
What also sucks is the tremendous light pollution in the World! Not necesarry and harmful to the environment. Even in a rural area it is hardly possible to see stars. That's realy sad...
New image set: 4 night shots, starting today with a nostalgic look back to three summers ago, when Comet Neowise was in the sky. I knew then that this might be the last comet I would ever see. Luckily there were some clear nights, including this one in July, when I went out just after sunset. The last traces of afterglow were still in the sky, and the comet was easily seen after my eyes adjusted to the falling dark.

Since I heard of the comet Neowise, I had the wish to see it and to capture it. Yesterday late at night I went to a really dark place near Hof and took some shots of Neowise. It was a fascinating exerience!
Als ich vom Kometen neowise gehört hatte und dass er in unseren regionen mit bloßem Auge gut zu sehen sei, habe ich mir vorgenommen, mir das Schauspiel mal anzusehen. Gestern nacht habe ich dann einen sehr dunklen Ort hier in der Region besucht und ein paar Aufnahmen gemacht. Es war ein faszinierendes Erlebnis!
I took this tonight off of my back deck. I was thinking about calling my neighbor to ask him to turn his lights off, but it was too late.
Had another try yesterday on the same spot. Clouds were making it a bit more difficult. A device to follow the stars in their movement was used.
Not a lot of "ps" done here, as I am on a camping site in the sun...

Comet C / 2020 F3 (NEOWISE) crosses the sky of Salvador during one of the few nights of "clear" sky in July / 20.
The expectation to photograph the Neowise only increased while I saw the images captured in the Northern Hemisphere during the beginning of July / 20. This expectation ended up becoming a great frustration for the fact that Neowise had already reached the skies of Brazil very barely visible, very different from what had been seen before. Furthermore, without being able to travel because of COVID-19, trying to photograph the comet in the region near Salvador has become an almost impossible task, after all, practically every day it has been raining in Salvador and the sky is always cloudy.
As a nature photographer he never gives up, one day I was at home in Salvador and I realized that the sky had cleared a little, already close to the sunset time. With the help of my photographic planning apps, I realized that it would be possible to frame Comet Neowise from my daughter's bedroom window, around 6:50 pm. Without thinking twice, I set up the tripod and camera inside the little girl's room and left the equipment aligned with the direction where the comet would cross Salvador's sky. Setting up a composition was complicated, after all, we have protection screens on every window in the house. While my wife was cradling the little one in the other room, I tried to locate Comet Neowise.
Finally, when the estimated time arrived, the comet appeared in the frame that I chose to photograph it. As expected, it was not very visible, after all, I was making the capture from the window of my house, in the middle of Salvador. Despite this, it was very nice to make some captures of Neowise and record this moment that will not be repeated soon.
The techniques used to capture this image were "Long Exposure" and "Focal Length Blending".

I've opened this photo up under the Creative Commons - Attribution license model. I am not an astrophotographer, and while I'm happy with this photo, it is definitely not the nicest verison of neowise on Flickr. So with that being said, if your organization needs a photo of a comet, this one is now free to use.
C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE), or Comet NEOWISE, is a retrograde comet with a near-parabolic orbit discovered on March 27, 2020, by astronomers using the NEOWISE space telescope. At that time, it was a 10th-magnitude comet, located 2 AU (300 million km; 190 million mi) away from the Sun and 1.7 AU (250 million km; 160 million mi) away from Earth.
By July 2020, it was bright enough to be visible to the naked eye. It is one of the brightest visible to observers in the northern hemisphere since Comet Hale–Bopp in 1997. Under dark skies, it can be clearly seen with the naked eye and might remain visible to the naked eye throughout most of July 2020.
For observers in the northern hemisphere, in the morning, the comet appears low above the north-eastern horizon, below Capella. In the evening, the comet can be seen low in the north-western sky. In the second half of July 2020, Comet NEOWISE will appear to pass through the constellation of Ursa Major, below the asterism of the Big Dipper (The Plough).

Going through my photos, found this attempt of a selfie with Neowise. Might be not the best quality photo, but it has something to say for me.
Firstly, it's kind of a once in a lifetime selfie :)
Secondly, the Plough (7 brightest stars of Ursa Major - the Great Bear constellation) can be seen very clearly together with the position of Neowise relating to the Plough. Also it can be seen that Neowise was not near as bright as the Plough, but more of the same brightness as other stars of Ursa Major - like the two stars to the left and down from Neowise. On the night of 21 July, those stars would be lambda Ursae Majoris and mu Ursae Majoris - they are supposed to represent the right hind paw of the Great Bear constellation. (I know it requires a lot of imagination to actually see the Bear, I never could manage that lol)

For those that missed it last year, this image shows comet Neowise as visible from the Harold A. Campbell Public Rest Area near Okeechobee Lake in Florida. Unfortunately, the comet was not easily visible to the naked eye. However, I was able to capture this image at dusk shortly after sunset.
Когда бегущая комета
Улыбкой ласковой привета
Любила поменяться с ним*
* I tried to find a half- decent translation of Lermontov into English, but I doubt it exists..
We were finally blessed with clear skies, so I went out at night to watch Neowise. Seeing moon rising and sunrise was an additional bonus of pulling an all-nighter :)
I believe that the two very bright stars to the left of Neowise belong to Ursa Major (or the Great Bear) constellation: Iota Ursae Majoris (or Talitha) and Kappa Ursae Majoris - they basically represent two front paws of the Great Bear.

First time using Sequator, so still learning, but not too unhappy about the first result..
