Comet Neowise...

I originally planned to drive outside of town slightly for any of the pics I was going to attempt to take of the comet. Having a poor nights sleep the night before, I chose to be a little lazy and just went into my front yard for this shot. I was just barely able to find it by averting my eyes slightly from where I thought it was going to be. Got the shot right off the bat which considering I couldn't actually see it in the viewfinder, I took as a win. I then took a series of shots at different ISO settings and times so I could pick from the better of them. Hopefully, the next ones I try to get will be better since the best night should be next Weds or Thurs ...

To find the comet I recommend using binoculars if possible... the bigger the front lens the better, magnification won't matter. If you can find the Big Dipper in the NW sky, tonight, the comet is straight down from it towards the horizon right where the front paw would be. It will be moving up and towards the west almost reaching the rear paw by Weds-Thurs.

Awesomes Redsocks !

Ok... took another shot of the comet tonight. The comet doesn't show as well but I got the light pollution removed better than the last one... so it's a trade off... Oh, I also shot this one in portrait using a wider angle lens...

Ok... After thinking about it a little more, I decided to also share a 35mm version ( even wider angle ) so more of the Big Dipper shows. This also gives a little more perspective on how faint this comet is since you'll get more context to judge it from. As before, I removed as much light pollution and white balance as previously so it's shown in a more natural light but it also dims the comet doing that a little bit...
