Details:
Comet Neowise C2020 F3 from the crystal clear sky of Rodokipos Halkidiki Greece as it appeared today 11/07/2020 at 01:20 UT. The comet is getting very bright and it barely fits into the frame of a full sensor camera with a 200mm lens as shown in this image that was created by combining 30 exposures of 20sec in order to decrease the noise and show the ion tail of the comet. I've made the image with a full-frame camera and a 200mm lens set at f/2.8 capturing 20sec sub-exposures that were combined to avoid the noise and show the ion tail of the comet which is faint but visible.
I am an amateur astronomer for 20+ years but I have never seen such an impressive view from the northern hemisphere since I missed Hale Bopp astronomically at least. I couldn't hide my joy alone in the darkness when I realised from the rising tail of the comet, how big and bright it would be! I am very thankful that we are having such an interesting astronomical target to follow this summer and who knows how it will evolve but I like the idea that the whole planet is imaging this target now sharing their own experiences!
