Finally got the chance to take shots for the NEOWISE! Simply just don't want to wait another 6800 years.

I haven't used DSLR to take pictures of the night sky for a long long time. Feels pretty good. The night sky at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge is about Bortle class 5. Not the best place but the closest one for me. Lots of bright light sources all around on the horizon. It's a fun trip. The comet started to be visible to naked eyes about 9:50 pm. And it could be observed all the way to 11:15 pm before it fell into the ground light pollution.

#1: 70mm, ISO3200, 5s, 60 shots. Stacked with Starry Landscape Stacker for the first time!

#2: 200mm, ISO20000, 2s, 60 shots.

#3: 24mm, ISO6400, 5s, single shot.

Nothing fancy, pure fun.

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.
