I took this back in 2007 in the days long before I had a decent digital camera. The only one I had to hand on the night was my 3D or stereo medium format film camera. From memory, this was a 15 second exposure with 100 ISO film. It was taken from my home in Burnie, Tasmania and the illuminated buildings belong to Hellyer College. How I would have loved today's cameras back then!
Here is comet Leonard we captured with my new Canon ESO 600d DSLR camera, on Christmas eve, using the 55-250mm zoom lens set at f/4.5 and a 20-second exposure with 3200 ISO no tracking used hence the star trails. This is a raw image no processing involved.
Comet C2023 A3 Tsuchinshan- Atlas shines in the western sky above Strong Mountain. Mendocino County Latitude 39, Northern California U.S.A.
Total of 3 min of exposure 6 x 30 sec on iTelescope T68, the comet moves quickly across the background stars. Bright Moon nearby squelching the fainter ion tail in such short integration.
Captured February 2, 2022
I caught it! The green comet Lemmon appeared in the early night sky, and I was able to take advantage of the brief period of clear skies.
Ich habe ihn erwischt! Der grüne Komet Lemmon erschien am frühen Nachthimmel und ich habe die kurze Zeit mit unbewölktem Himmel ausnutzen können.
This is 11 stacked 10 second exposures taken at ISO 16000. I used Deep Sky Stacker to stack the images and processed in Lightroom 4. I was surprised the camera was able to pick up a bit of the comet's tail. :)
Comet 2022-E3(ZTF).
30x 60s with telescop 80ED and camera ASI1600MC. The condition (moon, clouds) was very hard.
This was my first attempt to capture the NEOWISE comet last night. I don't take many night shots so everything was pretty much an experiment. The comet was very low on the horizon and I was unable to see it without doing a time exposure and then looking at the photo. I wasn't real satisfied with the results but at least I can say I got it.
So I was out driving my racing car one evening when a cute rabbit jumped out in front of me. I slammed on my brakes and skidded on a wet comet. Stars had been falling all night and the sky was very slippery.
My life flashed before me as I careened through space, spinning helplessly. Somehow I landed on a roof of an abandoned Texaco Station in the middle of Area 51 with comet sparks still trailing in the sky.
As I got up, I slipped out of the puddle and fell onto dry wet land.
It was a humbling experience so I took a snapshot to send to my friends as no-one back home would believe I would ever brake for a rabbit!
Another from the depths of the hard drive.
Shot through a Celestron 6 inch Newtonian telescope and a Canon F1-n loaded with some sort of flim, no idea what,
It's not going to win many prizes but I am so glad that I got out to shoot Comet Neowise last weekend - I am not sure I will be around next time it comes!
It was clear so I went out to the fishing lake last night 45 minutes after sunset trying to get a shot of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. I couldn't see it with the naked eye, but it was supposed to be halfway between Venus and the bright star Arcturus that I could see, so I set up my little backpacking tripod and took a few shots. I have some city lights here, so the comet did show on the image, but not very strongly. Just to the right of the comet are two smudges that might be galaxies.
A very early and rewarding morning...couldn’t believe how bright this comet was, easily visible to the naked eye...

This impressive comet is making a once-in-our-life-time close approach to Earth. It will speed away back to the outer parts of the solar system by mid-August.
While I was taking this picture, the comet was well above the horizon, in a magnificent display at sunset.
Thank you for your comments,

This is my first attempt at night sky photography (inspired by Jan and others). Not the sharpest of images but the comet is certainly recognizable. The sky does not get dark until 10 pm or so at this time of year and at this location there was quite a lot of light pollution from town lights. Next time I will have to improve on my settings and find a darker spot.
Taken at Portugal Cove, NL
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...
Samyang 12mm f2.
10 sec, ISO 640 for the sky, 10 shots stacked in Sequator
20 sec, ISO 1000 for the foreground
This is a composite of 475 exposures, 30 sec. each. (almost 4 hours total) from suburban Bloomington, Ind. It was processed twice: registered on the comet and separately on the stars and combined in Photoshop. (The comet moves across the sky fast enough that there is noticeable motion in a few minutes. Either the comet or the stars would be trailed in a standard composite).
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.
Unfortunately now shut
Comet’s tale has been one of ups and downs since it first opened on Chatham Street off Grafton Street in 1984 as Halley’s Comet appeared in the skies over Ireland.
Two years later it relocated to Crown Alley in Temple Bar. The shop moved again in 1989 to its present premises on Cope Street and a year later it opened a branch on Washington Street in Cork. However, in 2004 owner Brian O’Kelly was forced to close both shops.
He reopened in Dublin in 2009 but in 2011 said“this time we are going for good”, he told The Irish Times “It has been on the cards for a very long time. There is a whole generation who have never paid anything for music and I don’t know if they will ever be prepared to pay anything for music.”...RIP Comet !!!
