Description

Here are 3 images of comet C/2020 F3 Neowise captured from a dark location with low horizon looking over fields about 3 miles from my home. They are a mixture of images taken with my camera tripod mounted Nikon D90 DSLR using either a Nikon zoom lens or a 62/520 achromatic scope that used to be my guide scope before I moved to OAG imaging. I knew that the scope might come useful one day - it is the first time it's been out of its box for over 4 years and actually it's first light for taking images.

The capture details stated below the image are with this scope, but all sub exposures were 2s at ISO1600 and the stacks vary between 11 and 16 sub exposures, so each has very similar integration time.
