Comet NEOWISE as it appeared in Onalaska, Wisconsin, July 15, 2020.
I don't take photos at night very often and never before with this camera. Could not lock the mirror up because I forgot to bring a flashlight with me. Couldn't see any of the camera settings in the dark. The result is a slight shadow produced by the mirror shake!
Another comet shot from Saturday night at Dungeness. This was taken quite late at night, it was actually Sunday already and there was a glow from the sun on the horizon
Comet NEOWISE captured over Waukesha, WI on Jul 19, 2020. This image is a stack of 37 images taken with a Nikon D850 and Sigma 70-200mm lens. Each image was captured at 200mm with aperture f/2.8 for 8 seconds with ISO of 320. The 37 images were then stacked (processed) in Sequator and then processing was finished in Adobe Lightroom.
Drove a ways to get a nice dark sky. Comet NEOWISE will be closest to Earth on July 22-23, 2020. It will pass at some 64 million miles (103 million km) from our planet.
Hope folks aren't tired of seeing this yet.
Comet NEOWISE Monday evening. It's still visible by the naked eye but it is definitely dimmer than it was just a week ago or heck, just days ago. It's day's of being easily visible are certainly numbered... 😢
I realize I'm two years late with posting this photo. I spent 8 photo sessions trying to get usable photos. This photo is about 15 photos manually stacked in Photoshop.
Thank you to everyone for your views, faves and comments!
…und hier nochmal mit etwas mehr Weitwinkel, weniger Neoschweif, aber dafür mehr Olympiapark. Mit dem abgeschalteten Restaurant wirkt der Turm finde ich trotz der roten Hierbinichbeleuchtung erstaunlich düster.

Transparency this night was 7 (out of 10) at the time of this image.
Tech Specs: Nikon d7100, Nikkor 85mm (effective focal length 166mm at f/2.8, iso 3200, 13x60s. Processed in PixInsight, Lightroom & Photoshop. Mostly just color balance and noise reduction applied.
Comet NEOWISE is definitely fading and shrinking in size by in dark locations is still an easy naked-eye object.
Die Verzweiflung an diesem letzten Neowise Abend wurde immer größer, denn das erste Motiv hat nicht wirklich so funktioniert, wie erhofft. Das zweite auch nicht. Ich wollte schon aufgeben, da ist mir dann noch dieser See eingefallen.
Oh, what a sight!!! We went out very early this morning to see Comet Neowise. At first there was a just faint glow of the tail rising from the left of the Hollister Peak. As we watched the earth turned and the entire comet came into view. I was filled with Wonder and Awe !!! Earth's glory at her best.
As I mentioned in the previous photo, it was quite difficult finding a good frame here with all the wires from the code line in the preferred line. I'm still pleased with the result given the hard-to-get green signal here. I only got two chances at this before hearing a horn for the train coming at me and quickly finding an alternate angle to capture that...

NEOWISE Comet -
Sometimes you need a kick in the pants to get your creative motivation going and that's just what my buddy Jasman did messaging me about the comet Neowise, which by the way was the first time I had heard of this thing. So much in the news that a lot of people hadn't heard about it yet, I was one of them.
We brainstormed ideas and locations only to both come to the conclusion that this location was the one. I had seen compositions here before and always loved it, largely because the Shasta-Trinity national forest is so unique and this portrays SO much of what it is and how special it is. It's partly nostalgic for me as I grew up camping in this area and as many of you know, I was born in Shasta. Something about the forests and rocks and makeup of the land just really works, and nature laid up this absolutely perfect window of a composition.
By the way, it's an absolute miracle that there are scientists and apps and technology that work together to be able to plan a shot like this. I definitely don't take that for granted. The fact you can predict when a comet 65 million miles away will be visible via the light and direction of Earth's rotation and share it with the masses in a damn app to be able to capture a single shot that nature lines up like this is just ridiculous.
It doesn't come easy though. The comet is visible around 4 am, which meant an all-nighter that included a drive down to Shasta, and an hour or so hike up above a couple of lakes around 7k elevation in the middle of the night. It was a calm and comfortable night which was good, but it can always get a little spooky. As we hiked up our headlands caught glimpse of a reflection among a an upside down "V" shaped tree-line resting against the cliff wall above us. Of course we froze with our lights on it for a little bit, Jas wanting me to get a pic, which I failed at. It just stared at us, we eventually move towards our location which was a sideways direction from the unknown animal. Of course I keep checking my back constantly. Eventually we get near the lake but of course one of the times I check up and behind me I see eyes again. Whether or not it was the same animal, I don't know. But we're basically at the location so we move along and set up right where we planned. Still checking behind me and ruining some of Jas's shots I eventually calmed down and focused on the show that was about to begin, and boy was it a show.
It was almost like Vertigo, as the Earth rotated to reveal the Comet I felt like we were at the ultimate amusement park - mother nature. The Comet began to get brighter and brighter as it peaked from behind Shasta, just barely hidden, to revealing itself as you see in this image.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Wir haben lange überlegt, wo man es mit dem Kometen versuchen könnte und dachten, dass die kleine Kapelle eine tolle Idee ist. Und auch die einzige. Auf diese Idee sind auch noch andere gekommen. Dennoch war es ein super angenehmer Abend, weil alle sehr freundlich waren. Für dieses Foto habe ich mich ein paar Minuten ins Bild der anderen stellen dürfen und bin sehr froh, dass es niemanden zu stören schien, als ich gefragt habe, ob ich da kurz hin darf.
Zeitdruck ist immer ein wenig doof. Ich hätte mir gewünscht eine Doppelbelichtung machen zu können, aber natürlich wollte ich nicht länger an der Stelle stehen, als notwendig. Das Bild mag ich dennoch sehr gerne und hoffe, dass es euch ebenfalls gefällt!
Finally got it! Drove 30 minutes from my house up to Granite Basin which is around 6000 feet. Was setting up for Milky Way shots as Nautical Twilight set in. The sun still lit up the sky a bit at the horizon. Then I saw it. NEOWISE! It was disappearing below the mountains so I had to shoot fast! The sun lit up the coma that resembled a fireball. Really cool! This is a two image composite. I took a shot of the trees in focus and then the comet and combined them for full depth of field.
The appearance of a comet visible to the naked eye this week came as a surprise to many sky watchers. Comet NEOWISE (named after the NASA space telescope that found it) survived a trip around the sun, unlike most dusty iceballs that make up the core of a comet, and began to glow in the eastern night sky in early July.
I first learned of this comet from a Flickr post, which prompted me to rise early the next morning to view it in the twilight sky. I got some decent photos, but was disappointed at missing any foreground interest. The next morning I got up at 3 and took a chance at seeing the comet rise over something of greater interest than city haze, and was fortunate to pick a spot that had distant enough foreground elements to show up well in a tele lens in dim light. The slopes of Grassy Top have wind sculpted trees that seem to delight in pointing to the comet on this morning.
Comet NEOWISE will be visible in the early mornings for the next week, but for those not liking early mornings it will be visible in the NW sky about 90 minutes after sunset after July 12.
As the Comet Neowise speeds through the solar system a few of us went to Knowlton Church and Henge in Dorset on the 16th of July. As one of my favourite dawn shoots I was amazed at the number of people who were there last night.
We arrived early and all got parked as there are only a few spaces. At first we thought it was too hazy but at 11pm it started to be visible to the naked eye. I shot with two lenses and tried various ISO and speed combinations, this is an 18 sec at 24mm at 1250iso so there is some movement in the stars but I liked this shot the best of all, in the UK look to the NW and hopefully you will see this visitor as it will not be back for 6,000 years!
The green/yellow lights round the henge were fireflies in the grass.
Going through the photos from this past year and remembered this beautiful and rare visitor as one of the highlights of the year.
