Description

Shooting the "Neowise over Valhall " image, I was a bit early on location, and the comet was still a few degrees western, making up for a good composition with St. Salvators church, which is unfortunately illuminated. So I had to take one additional shot with significantly reduced exposure for the church, which I then blended in using Photoshop. As for the composition I had to reduce the focal length of my zoom lens from 135mm to 75mm, I could rise the exposure time to 2.5sec which gave me a glimpse of the comet's ion tail.
