So, I got up at 4 a.m. July 13th. to try to see Neowise Comet. Was it worth it? YES! It was very difficult for me to photograph, but I will have a better idea of how to do it now and will try again. My composition was a little off, but I was excited to get this.

Great capture Farm Girl, so many clouds, so many t-Storms, so much humidity I didn't even try here in Florida...

That's a good picture ! What camera, lens, etc, did you use?
I was using a Canon 7D Mk II with a Canon 100-400 F4L Mk II lens. I was at 2000 ISO, 20 seconds, f4.5. I took this shot at about 4:30 a.m.
We looked last night. I got a couple of shots, but they were terrible. I couldn't even to see it to focus on it. We couldn't find it even with binoculars. Finally, I just shot NW and happened to capture it.

The weather man for our area is into astrophotography to. He is all excited about the comet to. He said it will be the closest it will get to Earth on the 22nd and I will be waiting. He shows his photos of it and their pretty good. I think I like your shot better.

Wow! Lucky you. I am going to try to locate it but I'm on the east side, so I'm not too optimistic. Still, it's something to try for.
