Another Neowise pic

[Hypernova]

Here is my first attempt at capturing a comet with my Canon 600d. I still have a lot to learn to get the best out of this camera and it's lens but I'm pretty pleased with this single exposure. 

This was taken at ISO 400, f/5.6 and 5 seconds shutter speed.

I wish I had access to a better vantage point, the view from my back garden is less than ideal and has recently got worse with the construction of new houses behind.

Very nice Tom ! I have a tree in the way at the moment.

The trees and buildings actually make for a nice framing.      🙂

Very nicely captured!

I kept looking for Neowise but there wasn't a sign.

To which my wife responded: "It's behind you!"

She was right!

As usual.

Thanks Pete,

I wish I had used the 6 inch frac, but was too cream crackered to set up having had an allnighter the evening before. May have a go tonight if I can get a nana nap in sometime today.

Hopefully it will be around for a while yet.

Thanks guys, I'll have to keep trying if we get any more clear skies. There a humpback railway bridge nearby where I think I may be able to get a better view of the comet from. If love to practice more with different exposure settings too. I did try a 10 seconds exposure but at 55mm there was quite noticeable start trailing. I think I may have to try multiple short exposures of 5 seconds and attempt stacking, which is something I've not tried before.
