Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)

My first sighting of Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) from Slade Point Queensland. 6 seconds unguided with a 135mm lens at F2.5, Pentax K-5.

Comet was not visible to the naked eye and very difficult to see even in 7x50 binoculars at this low elevation.

A bit bigger at Astrobin ---> https://astrob.in/qcew1k/0/

Edit, added a 10 x 6 second stack = 1 minute.
