Description

And yet another Neowise... ;-) This is the first comet I could observe with my naked eyes. What an overwhelming view!

Since I can't observe from my small observatory in northern direction so close to the horizon, I set up on a field not far from my home. Primarily I wanted to observe the comet with binoculars. Nevertheless I had my small travel mount with me.

For this picture I used my Sigma Art lens for the first time in the night sky. With f/1.4 it is really powerful... So I was able to take some nice shots for this picture besides my visually observing. It was fascinating to take pictures in the middle of nature again - the view of Neowise will surely remain in my memory for a long time. Also note the great landscape of the "Bergisches Land" :-)

For this image I used a composite of:

- 50 x 5 sec

- 30 x 10 sec

- 5 x 30 sec
