Comet Neowise F3
in the Evening sky
July 28, 2020

 
 This
            4.5 magnitude comet is now just visible in the evening sky over
            the treetops for our observatory. I had about 20 minutes to shoot
            this comet with the 10 inch for the very first time with this
            astrograph. The moon was past half, and brilliant in the sky
            nearby.
