Details:
I hope all got to see Comet NEOWISE during its recent visit; it turned out to be quite an unexpected celestial treat during this time of COVID "house-arrest".
It became bright enough to see easily with the unaided eye from dark rural locations but now, unfortunately, has faded into the realm of large binoculars and telescopes.
From July 18-27 I photographed it each night. In this sequence you can see the comet changing its size and brightness as it first approaches the Earth (becoming closest on the 22nd) and then receding back into the depths of our solar system, not to return to our neighborhood for nearly 68 centuries.
