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.

Comet Neowise shot from the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, CA. The dark skies of this area made Neowise a true naked-eye comet and allowed all of its colors to come out. Truly the comet of the century so far

Only used 16 of my 87 Light Frames because the comet moved too far across the star field in that timeframe and I'm too lazy to try to combine them

A few weeks ago I'd indentified just one evening where I had some free time to get out and see Comet Neowise. Since it wasn't going to be around again for another 6,766 years I though I'd better make the effort... and the thought of it being visible to the naked eye was far too much of a temptation to pass by.
Thankfully (and unusually) the weather was absolutely perfect for the evening I'd picked with very little cloud lingering around and thus millions of stars were clearly visible to the naked eye, arrivng well after dark was the hard part as not only was I struggling to see the comet I couldn't really see where I was going either without shining a really bright torch around and potentially ruining anyone elses shots that may be around although I couldn't make anyone out..
My arrival time coincided with the tide going back out so that was a huge help knowing I wasn't going to get cut off on the rocks I was now scrambling across in the dark to find a foreground.. once I'd got settled my eyes had adjusted to the dark and the Comet could clearly be seen, absolutely awesome to witness I just stood on watched on for a while taking it all in, after all it was the only time I'd ever get to see it..
This was taken a 0115AM, I finally settled on a 15 second exposure at f/2.8 and a little bit of lighting for the foreground rocks, it's really not often I do shooting at night and Astro work but I really enjoyed it, something very surreal about being stood in the sea at 0130 AM in Wellies shooting and watching a subject that is 64 million miles away. Not something you get to do everyday. And amazingly, no mishaps !
Have a zoom around at all the stars, sent my eyes crazy looking up at them all, due to light pollution you never get to see anything like this where I live.

Comet C/220 F3, generally known as Neowise, captured from my garden.
For anyone interested in viewing this comet, I can tell you that its a lot brighter, larger and more impressive than Halley’s comet which I saw in 1986. You can see it with the naked eye, and if you have better eyesight than me you will be able to make out its tail. Its very low down close to the horizon so you need a fairly unobstructed view to the north. Just look north to north-east after 2.30pm and before dawn and you should be able to see it. If you cant then find a very bight star in that area (Capella), and look little bit down and to the west. If the sky is clear I am sure you will be able to find the comet if your view isn’t obstructed.

We have some incredible sighting going on of Comet Neowise C/2020 F3. I really just wanted to get out and see it from my eyes but few shots happened in the process. I believe it’s a matter of luck that I was able to capture it here with the windmill since I heard there is a big fire raging in this area and smoke may just kill the scene. Praying for everyone’s safety. Do step out safely, look up at the NE horizon between 4-5 AM next few days.
Shot on Sony A7rIV, 100-400, Shutter speed blend (otherwise, you won’t see windmill blades 😆).
Although I had some technical issues, likely caused by user error, I managed to get a few acceptable photographs of Comet NEOWISE as it rose above Mono Lake last week just before sunrise. Even if you don't care to photograph it, it is worth seeking out this beauty.
Shot at Gray Lodge Wildlife Refuge on July 24, 2020. If you missed it, no worries. It will visit earth again in 6,300 years!
So comet Neowise has turned out to be a nice visible comet in our night sky at the moment with a nice comet trail also visible. Here in North Mayo it skirts along the Northern horizon and is visible in the nautical twilight.
The challenge to photograph it though was a tough one, at least last night it was, because noctilucent clouds also put on a fine display. This made getting a detailed image of the comet even more difficult.
This is a single exposure of 10 second at f/5.6, ISO 200 on a 300mm lens in crop mode and with astrotracer on.
I still managed to maintain a little structure in the noctilucent clouds without blowing the nucleus of the comet out too much. I will have another go as the comet will get closer to Earth on July 23rd as it speeds away into deep space but you can never be sure about how long the brightness of these comets will last. All we need is clear skies!
Here's my take on the NEOWISE comet as it appears over the red rocks of Sedona. This is a composite image with the landscape shot at twilight and the sky about 45 minutes later when the comet became visible.
Das Foto habe ich vom Dolmar (Thüringen) aufgenommen. Mit dabei war mein Fotofreund Ulli Schmidt, der auch hier im Portal sehr schöne Aufnahmen zeigt.
[EN] The passage of comet Neowise was certainly one of the highlights of this year 2020. I was able to photograph it from the col de la Bonette in the Mercantour mountains. In these conditions and with such a clear sky, the show was really fabulous
[FR] Le passage de la comète Neowise fut assurément un des temps forts de cette année 2020. J’ai pu la photographier depuis le col de la Bonette dans le massif du Mercantour. Dans ces conditions et avec une telle qualité de ciel, le spectacle était vraiment grandiose

Well finally haha. I’ve seen several similar shots out there but I don’t care. I finally got to see Neowise with a fairly clear sky. Brought my wife and a couple of kids along on a round the pond midnight trek and they proved to be great cloud repellant. Also nice to have the company when the loons started yelling.
I don’t think a description is needed. There’s the Bubbles. There’s the comet!
Since it only happens every 6500 years, I wanted to get one really good shot of the Neowise Comet. Luckily, clear skies were in the forecast on the weekend I had free. My goal was to find a location where I could shoot a single focal length, have an interesting foreground, and still get the comet sufficiently large. I didn't want to resort to any kind of compositing or focal length blending. After studying the maps, I found the perfect spot where the comet would be lined up right over the top of Mt Rainier. Evelyn and I hiked up there the afternoon before, admiring the meadows filled with wildflowers along the way. At sunset, it was really windy and cold. I was worried that if the wind didn't calm down I wouldn't be able to get sharp shots! But we slept for a couple hours and when we woke up at midnight the conditions were perfectly calm! It was surreal watching the comet with dark, starry skies all around us and bright snow highlighting the landscape. What an amazing world we live in!
By the way, a lot of people have been asking lately if I sell prints of my work. The answer is yes! Just send me a message and I can get you a great deal on a stunning metal print.

Paxton's Tower is a neogothic folly in rural Carmarthenshire and I was lucky enough to capture it, and the glowing stars, and the comet NEOWISE.
