Comet Neowise

[MENTION=11881]Moab Man[/MENTION] That is terrific. I don't have a clear shot near me. I would have to trek out into the desert, which I can't do by myself.

My first night shot. Not missing getting up at 3 a.m.

I got up several nights to try to find a place that I could shoot. Either light pollution or hills got in my way.
This is a fantastic image.

Long exposure with my star tracker. My hope was to capture more of the blue ion tail with the long exposure... it worked.

Looks like you did. I can see some blue.

Here's mine taken last night.
I read somewhere that it is getting harder to see (less brilliant) as days go by. Not that it's getting extinguished, but it's getting further away from us.

I'm delighted.

Great pictures all. Unfortunately do the the streetlight the city recently installed across the street from me in the north west, I can't even see the big dipper, set alone the comet!!!

That is sad.
The population is increasing here. More and more sky glow to deal with.

Neowise and The Big Dipper

Outside of eclipses, which don't count, I haven't done night sky photography in at least 5 years - probably more. Everything I used to know about it came flooding back after I did whatever it was I wasn't supposed to do (like knowing that with an effective 750mm focal length you get star trails in under 2 seconds). Not sure if it's fading, but at least I dragged my tired butt and old eyes out there. The last shot is actually from the undeveloped street right behind us. If I get another clear night I might go back and try some IR since I'm told that stars tend to pop more. We'll see.

Awesome photos guys and girls, we have not been able to see the comet as yet in the Southern Hemisphere. But as it rounds the sun we are starting to get it low in the sky just after sunset. Not sure if it will be visible from where I am but will go out tonight and have a look with my 70-200 f2.8.
