Neowise Comet

Brute:
Neowise Comet  anyone getting any shots? https://earthsky.org/space/how-to-see-comet-c2020-f3-neowise
Here is my try from last night. Think I'm going to try again tonight.

Bruno Schroder:
Good one, Ken.

I did post one in the July 2020 thread, answer 93 page 7. Your sky is better than mine :), always a bit hazy here.
If the weather forecast is correct, I'll try again on Monday.

Seapy:
It's in my plans but there seem to be nothing but cloudy skies in prospect for the window of opportunity in NW England.  >:(

beryllium10:
Wednesday night was quite clear for Seattle, giving excellent viewing.  For these I used the 300 mm f/4 on a small star tracker, allowing me to expose for 20 seconds.  I found that not much was gained going beyond that - the extended tail of the comet showed too little contrast against the light of the city sky.  Against a darker sky I think the tail would nearly fill the frame of the 300 mm, about 8 degrees.
The first photo is lightly processed, the second stretched a bit in Photoshop to roughly equalize the R,G, and B channels in the coma and make the background sky closer to black.
Cheers,  John

Brute:
 Nice Shots beryllium10  :)

Tried again last night.
This was at 2:30 am Pacific Time this morning.
