Description

When I finished the last work NGC 4565,  I remembered that Maurizio took a special combo...so here it is. He was lucky enough to catch the comet crossing Coma Berenice on August 1st 2020  in front almost the Needle Galaxy. With this session and other acquired some days after ended his Neowise chasing journey (July 8th to August 8th, 2020) with this special intergalactic guest.

This was also my first experience in processing Comet data...it was a bit hard  and took me a long time and I did not get satisfied with the final image as it ended very dark  (1) (2).  Doing this  review, I decided to give it a try on the work done in February of this year.

In the final version I think it can be appreciated the entire Neowise Comet better.  The short data does not let me get a Needle galaxy defined but at least can be noted more.

Just a curiosity there are 3 nice galaxies that are blur in our image in the tail-bottom comet, the NGC 4613, NGC 4615 and NGC 4614.

We have several sessions of the Neowise since the beginning of its appearance, panoramic and astro images not yet worked as of Atlas and PanSTARRS 2020 comets.  Hope to get back on them at some point.
