Last night I visited Valley Forge National Park to photograph Neowise. It was more crowded than I expected and I was a little disappointed in the images I got, but I did fulfill my goal of getting ISS passing above Neowise.
Neowise was last seen by man approximately 4800bce.
Around this time what is now Europe had a common language called PIE " I kind of like that" Proto-Indo-European a forerunner of all modern languages, the Sahara was a grassland and still green, The Cairn of Barnenez in what is now France was built, the Hemudu culture began in eastern China with the cultivation of rice and the Aboriginal rock carvings near Sydney Australia were created. This image is of the ISS passing over Neowise.

Thanks Bruce.
Less timing more planning. I used https://stellarium-web.org/ and https://www.n2yo.com/passes/?s=25544# to plot time and place and selected location based on biggest open space least amount of light pollution that was convenient to me. Still to much LP and I probably should have brought a longer lens.

Thank you Ed for the links. I saved them to my toolbar. These are handy tools. I am going to try and catch the comet this evening. Lots of light pollution around here but I will try and see what I can do. I have an 80-400 Nikon telephoto lens and D200. IF I can get something I will share it. Thank you again for the links.

Thanks Ed,
saved to the tool bar, oh boy !!! I am in the middle of a mess with light pollution. Oh well, I will do what I can.
Check this out, I woke up early a couple of days ago and went out and just hand held the camera with a 70-300
The moon with Venus and something else I forgot in right in a dim view. You can see the it was getting light.
Was not expecting to see this but grabbed the camera and went at it.
