A Beautiful Comet in the Morning sky!!! Comet NEOWISE on 07-08-2020… warning because of how low it is on the Horizon your view may be blocked by trees or other structures..so go find a very low Northeastern Horizon away from the city lights..although it is visible to the human eye, its just barely visible around here, once it cleared the fog on the horizon. Comet NEOWISE looks so much better in Binoculars or small telescope. Even regular camera lens on DSLR cameras can capture it..with exposures as short as 1 to 5 seconds. The color just before Sunrise really makes the Comet Photo, but I found you only have a 30 minute window of color before the comet gets washed out by the brightening sky. I will be posting several images this week, I will include exposure setting for the different lens sizes I used…so you all can go out and try to capture it yourselves!!!…I used my Fujinon 10×70 binoculars to view it, and it was beautiful to look at…but once its high enough off the horizon you can see it through your Camera viewfinder. But you don’t have much time before dawn’s light gets too bright to wash it out..I captured these from Enon, Ohio, went to visit & shoot with my buddy Glenn who found us a good spot in his neck of the woods using google maps. All shots are with my Canon 6D DSLR, most exposures were well under 10 seconds..depends on your Lens, ISO value & Fstop used.
this was set to 97mm lens, F4, ISO 400, 10 sec., Camera on a tripod. Stay tuned I have a several more nice ones coming your way..
Best Regards,
