So Neowise has come and gone, did any of you get any shots of this "once-in-100-lifetimes" visitor? here's what i managed: I took this July 21st, there's several versions of it - in differing states of post-processing. Equipment: Canon 200d, Samyang 14mm F/2.8 lens     |

I did get one, went out looking for it but got confused with the expected direction...then found it anyway!

I took this picture on the night of July 11-12 from my (open) bedroom window. I could see the comet by eye, but not through the viewfinder of my camera, which I had (obviously) set up on a tripod, so it was a bit of a wild guess, especially regarding what settings to choose. I ended up with an exposure of about 15 seconds and focus on near-infinite. All things considered, I think it turned out fairly well. The streak near the top seems to have been made by a satellite that I didn't even see with the naked eye. The comet appears pretty much as it looked to my eyes. EDIT: I don't know why it won't embed.

Cornwall. I have the luxury of being able to get a view with no lights in front of the lens (the orange at the bottom is the sun, about an hour after setting)

@вяейski Thanks! Yeah, I didn't see the satellite(s) when I was taking the picture, but it/they is/are very obvious now! I haven't done anything to the picture, but I'm sure some diligent photoshopping could definitely improve the tail. pgNice shot, and what a luxury indeed! |
