Comet C2020 F3 Neowise

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've done any imaging. My wife came down with Coronavirus and then I came down with it. For several weeks I was not able to get out of bed or eat anything. I was so weak that I could barely stand. I don't ever remember being this sick. For a while I was not sure if I was going to make it or not. Luckily I was in pretty good shape and in good health when I contracted the virus. I still need to regain some of my strength and stamina back. However my wife and I are much better and every day there is more improvement. I decided to try and image Comet C2020 F3 Neowise. I found the comet easily in my eyepiece. I was astonished when I first viewed Comet Neowise in my eyepiece. I've been doing this a long time and have viewed many comets. However this comet has to be the most spectacular comet that I've ever seen in an eyepiece. I was so excited that I ran inside and got my wife to come outside and look through the eyepiece. She also was in awe of the Comet. Unfortunately once I began imaging clouds started to move in and I had to trash a lot of my light frames because of the clouds. When imaging a comet I like to take 50 or 60 light frames. This helps to negate the noise. With this image I only wound up with 5 or 6 usuable light frames and the noise is a problem. Anyway I'm always excited to capture a comet whether the image is good or bad. Please enjoy my first image of Comet C2020 F3 Neowise.

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.
