C/2020F3 Neowise last night July 12

Unfortunately, Australia (and other southern countries) does not take part of this show ....


Last night I saw the comet clearly with the naked eye, low in the NNE sky.
I took two photos, see below. Stacked with Starrynight Landscape stacker as there is a foreground, and postprocessed with Photoshop.
I took one with the 6D + 85mm f/1.8 (set to f/4) using 19 frames of 7 seconds and another with the Sony RX100M6 at 42mm (115mmeq) f/4.5, 33 frames of 7 seconds/ Both with steady camera.
I am amazed that the RX100 with it much smaller sensor performs as good as the fullframe 6D.

That's a might impressive comet you have in the NH! Just hope it stays as bright for the next 10 days so we can see it too.

Very nice images off the comet Skysurfer
Neowise is certainly putting on a good show for the northern hemisphere , reports of the tail being over 15 deg. long. Hope it maintains some brightness for the end of the month when we get a chance to view it, will have a waxing gibbous moon to contend with though.

Amazing!
What a spectacular image.

Comets are captivating. Well done, wish we could experience such a sight here in Aus.

Great captures Skysurfer! Best comet in years.
About time the Northern Hemisphere got a good view of a comet again, considering it missed out on this
