Comet Neowise July 2020

[Nigel G]

I visited a local boatyard to see and photograph comet Neowise.  With a good view to the north it's perfect. 

This also was my first chance to photograph noctilucent cloud which I have only ever seen once before, so a great night for me  

I ended up taking 1600 images also making a time-lapse.

Camera and lenses, Canon 1300d, stock 55mm & a 135mm f3.5 lens

 

Thanks for looking.

Beautifully framed and captured.

Absolutely love these! I have similar kit to you and am just wondering whether you had a tracking mount? Are these images stacked?

Hoping to get out imaging tomorrow night and am wondering what I'm likely to see in single sub without a tracking mount

Sorry for late reply, these are single exposures on a static tripod. I have since stacked 22x4 second exposures 135mm lens static tripod

I used Astro pixel processor for stacking, there's a bit of a crop but not much, Here's a single exposure, no crop.
