Description

The Great Summer Comet 2020 :-) When I went to the beach with my Kids I did not put too much efforts in the imaging last weekend. We had fun watching with our new 8x42 binos and my girlfriend started astrophotography on comet NEOWISE with her little compact camera (we have to stack the images though). However, my a6000 was taking two series of 100 images on a simple MiniTrack LS tracker. Stacking and "light pollution" correction was a bit a pain afterwards but I was still surprised of the okay-result, especially the reddish-purple part of the gas tail seems interesting to me - something I did not see yet but in some images of NEOWISE it´ s visible.
