Description

I set the alarm clock for 3:45 a.m. the morning of July 12th 2020 to catch a glimpse of Comet Neowise. Using Sky Safari as a guide, this was the best time to get images of the comet from my location without having to drive anywhere! 

I had to set up the camera and tripod in the middle of the State Highway at the end of my driveway, in order to photograph it!!!  Not one car drove by between 4:00 am and 4:25 a.m.!

I used different exposure times between 1 and 4 seconds with varying FL's and ISO 1600. The Canon 7DMII and 100-400is USM II lens was up for the job.
