Description

Cloudy monsoon nights here in New Mexico threatened to thwart my efforts to capture NEOWISE at its peak. But, one evening cleared enough for me to drive out and give it another try. I found a spot south of Santa Fe along the Bonanza Creek Road, set up the tripod and tracker, mounted my Canon 60Da and tried multiple FOVs, ISOs, and exposures. I loaded those frames into Sequator and this combination seemed the best one to share.

The comet colors have interesting contrast to the orange low pressure sodium glow reflected off clouds near town.
