Neowise 2020

Version 1 (edited on 19. July 2020)

The observing condition could have been better, but it was still very stunning to see a comet with the naked eye. Since we only had the camera and tripod with us, the exposures had to be very short. Unfortunately, there was quite some haze and cloud cover which had to be removed in post processing.
