Description

C/2020 F3 NEOWISE

Seven 300" subs under Bortle 2 skies. Except the northern horizon was still glowing with twilight due to my latitude.

Minimal processing in PixInsight. Gradients were strong with the low altitude.

What is very interesting to me is the wavy blue ion tail. I have captured the blue ion tail in DSLR shots, but it was straight.
