Comet NEOWISE and NLC from 11th July 2020

[Eris]

Had my first proper view of NEOWISE this morning after only one previous view the morning before between thick cloud.  Living in the beautiful  Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire in the UK it is not always easy to get a clear view of the horizon due to the hilly nature of the Forest however, the placement of the comet this morning put if right over one of the large ponds nearby.  The view of the comet in this idyllic setting was quite something but then to be complemented by a stunning NLC display was truly memorable.   A wonderful morning under a beautiful sky.

 

Assuming I have uploaded the images correctly the image details are as follows:

Wide/panorama shots: Canon EOS 100d with L series 17-40 mm lens set at 32mm, ISO 800 with 13 seconds each exposure for the three images in the panorama 

Close up image:  Canon EOS 100d with L series 70-200 set as 150mm, ISO 1600 and 800 stack of 11 images with a total time of 2 mins.  Tracked using a Omegon Mini Track LX2

 

All the best and clear skies to you.
