What you see is what you get, Comet C/2020 Neowise F3 is just about fitting into the field of view on my telescope. This is a non cropped, single exposure of 45 seconds photograph and this is the first time I have ever been able to capture such an impressive comet without the need for stacking multiple photos together. As stated - am not use to this, normally my comets images require time finding them, then time to capture enough photos to stack to get the details and time to process the raw data. This has been the easiest comet to image so far.
I am not done yet still time to capture some more photos of this celestial visitor before it is out of view.
This image had passing cloud which actually helped by momentarily blocking the bright nucleus of the comet and allow me to gather more light on the comets tail without the nucleus losing detail due to been over exposed.
One time in my life clouds actually help me out lol.
