Accepted? Hihi
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.
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
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!

Comet Neowise is soon to set on the day it makes its closest pass to Earth. Even though it's at it's closest, it's amazing how much it has dimmed over the span of the last week as it got further and further away from the Sun. Seen from an undisclosed location in Northern Illinois.
Even in these darkest of times I find signs of hope and inspirataion. Mother Nature never disappoints. Comet NEOWISE is a gift to us all. It will not be seen again for another 6,766 years!!! I count myself blessed to have seen it.

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.

I'm not sure how it is that you can live in one of the sunniest places on earth, and when a comet shows up, we become overcast for more than a week?!
Thanks to all of you who are enjoying fairer skies and have captured outstanding images of Comet NEOWISE!
This was the last morning where I was able to capture it north of Albuquerque. I didn't actually have my bearings, so I was using my 14mm lens to find my quary. It had drifted a bit further from Venus than I was expecting, so the lens was a good choice.
Made from 9 light frames by Starry Landscape Stacker 1.8.0. Algorithm: Mean Min Hor Noise. Keep shooting!
Peace and cheers!
A composite image - just had to move the comet over a tad for aesthetic purposes (being I went down to Manukau Harbour to specifically try and get this shot). Auckland New Zealand
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 Panstarrs,
Skywatcher MN190.
NEQ6 equatorial mount unguided.
Canon 760D, CLS filter ( city light suppression)
ISO 6400 63m 21s 32 frames.
If you look at the comet with your eyes slightly averted left or right, the comet tail pops out a little more. This is a well known method for seeing feint objects in the night sky. Seems to work here for me, let me know if you can see the feint detail.
Stack of 31 frames with Starry Sky Stacker, 15-second exposures, ISO 800, tracked with iOptron Skytracker Pro. Canon 7Dii wth Zeiss 135 mm Apo Sonnar f/2 lens, at f/2.8.
