Comet NEOWISE

Post by Montana »

These images took many hours to upload to Flickr but once there I can share :hamster:

I had two wonderful mornings alone in the local cow field from 2-3.30am. The first morning the Noctilucent clouds photo bombed the comet but the second morning was much darker.

I have a problem with Deep Sky Stacker, how do you know how to set the colour to true after stacking?

Some fab images Alexandra.
Noting your higher ISO times than my one at 800, I'll try again this evening/morning for a better image,
Can't assist re DSS...

WOW! Absolutely beautiful, Alexandra. I’m so jealous.
Julie and were out looking the other week a few nights on the trot, but saw absolutely nothing of NLCs. Frustrating with too many clouds recently.

NEOWISE is looking magnificent.
