Neowise on a summer night

Desiree and I went out to photograph the Neowise comet on consecutive nights in late July before its nightly tour over the northern hemisphere ended.  It was amazing to see the comet so bright.  With longer exposures, the tail flared out behind in a way that I haven’t photographed before.  That was beautiful and I’m glad we were out there and could share that together.

The comet was difficult to see with the naked eye.  With the camera, and a 6 second exposure, it stood out even against the sparkling sky.
