Comet C/2020 F3 (Neowise)

Finally a cloudless sky to the horizon. Yesterday I was unfortunately in vain for pictures. This morning was good conditions. Around 3:30 a.m.CEST, the currently bright comet appeared behind a row of trees. I waited until he had passed the lines, then took a few pictures.

Comet C/2020 F3 was discovered by the WISE space telescope on March 27, 2020. He underwent his perihelion on July 3, 2020. In the second half of July and in August, he will wander through northwestern sky regions in the evening. Unfortunately, he then weakens again. Neowise is currently in the constellation Auriga.

--------------------------

Endlich ein wolkenfreier Himmel bis zum Horizont. Gestern war ich für Aufnahmen leider vergebens unterwegs. Heute morgen waren gute Bedingungen. Gegen 3:30 Uhr MESZ erschien , der zur Zeit helle Komet hinter einer Baumreihe. Ich wartete noch bis er die Leitungen passiert hatte, dann machte ich ein paar Aufnahmen.

Der Komet C/2020 F3 wurde vom Weltraumteleskop WISE am 27. März 2020 entdeckt. Er durchlief sein Perihel am 3. Juli 2020. In der zweiten Juli-Hälfte und im August wird er am Abend durch nordwestliche Himmelsregionen wandern. Leider wird er dann auch wieder schwächer. Neowise befindet sich zur Zeit im Sternbild Fuhrmann.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
