Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) in LRGB Close-Up

Comet Neowise continues to amaze in the North West sky!

This LRGB image was taken on July-19-2020 at 9:45 pm.

This composite image is 8x30 seconds LRBG using an sBig 8300 stf ccd and a Sharpstar 76MM DPH scope, reduced to f/4.5, stacked and aligned once on the stars and once on the comet, then the 2 images were blended to make one image with round stars.

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