Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE 28/07/2020

Folks,

Just above the horizon once the Sun's influence had waned here in Caloundra this evening - the first time it's been clear in a week

The presence of the Moon and local light pollution made this especially tricky...but it is lurking there, honest!

15x 8 second shots with a Canon 6D + 70-200mm zoom @ 200mm on a Star Adventurer just plonked down on the grass roughly in the direction of south.

Certainly could do with a telescope, this one.

Edit: added a "comet aligned" version, hinting at a touch of plume separation.

Cheers,
Dunk
