Comet Neowise F3
in the morning sky
July 5, 2020

 
 The
            comet is now an easy naked eye object low in the bright north
            eastern sky at morning twilight. Close to zero magnitude, the
            dust tail is now becoming prominent as it gets into a darker
            sky. This was my first try at shooting a comet with the Explore
            Scientific AR152. It did rather well, and gave an image scale
            perfect for the comets size.
