Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) in LRGB

This is my 4 night imaging this amazing comet and this time I used my sBig stf 8300M married to my favorite Nikon lens, the 70-200/ f2.8 zoom.

This image is 6 x LRGB subs of 20 seconds each. I had over 20 from each channel to work with, but as luck would have it, I had many clouds to deal with so this was the best 6 that I could salvage to stack.

This is an untracked single exposure using a Nikon 85mm prime f/1.8 lens ISO 2500 20 second exposure time. In this image you can see all the clouds I was dealing with.

I’ve been a dedicated to Squarespace fan for 20 years. Love the product, people and company.
