C/2020 F3 Comet Neowise

So many people have imaged the Comet Neowise, that I really couldn't resist a bash myself, I took along my photographic assistants my wife Deborah and my son Dan.

The comet was too low to be imaged from my home, so in the afternoon , I found a clear view facing NNW-NNE just a mile or so up the road to me.

At 23:15 we headed with a little excitement, whilst setting up I discovered that my Zeiss lens would not allow me to manually focus, so I bunged on to my Sony A7RIII a new unused Samyang 135mm F2, mounted on my hypertuned Star Adventurer unguided, wow the images at just a few seconds showed I was on the money, so I finally settled on 30secs ISO400 @F2. I would love to have another go this week, but time is running out as it won't return for another 6800 years. I loved how the colour came through as well as the star colour. I'm really quite pleased with my first image of a comet.

Dan not to be done said, yeah Dad with all that fancy equipment, look what I can do with his iPhone 11Pro+ @ 10secs handheld?

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.
