I found that the shot I like the best was before it really got completely dark, with my shorter telephoto: http://huntzinger.com/photo/2020/Neowise_portrait.jpg Are you shooting N-E and dawn, or west and sunset? I ask, because here it is only visible just before dawn. In a few days we expect to see it at 22:30 hours (20:30 hours solar time). I'm shooting West & Sunset. Its easier hours on the body g but even given "even" choice, I'd probably prefer to setup before dark and then do teardown in the dark, rather than the reverse. -hh |

In north-america it's now visible in the early evening under the Big Dipper. Magnitude 6 and under a perfect dark sky human eyes can see up to 8, so it's very faith and it will get dimmer Thanks. That figures. I went out last night (7/21) and got a few more shots between the clouds. Overall, it was harder to spot, even with binoculars (binos are fairly small .. probably 5 x 20's?) Just found this link : https://earthsky.org/space/how-to-se...020-f3-neowise Pity that the google Sky Map doesn't have it. Stellarium does, but needs a computer. The laptop is more cumbersome than the phone to carry. I have a smartphone App "Night Sky" which has it. Its iOS, but there might be an Android version too. -hh |

The laptop is more cumbersome than the phone to carry. On my phone (an iPhone) i use an app called Sky Guide (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sky-guide/id576588894), work very well you just point it at the sky and tell you what your looking at. Even have a "augmented reality" mode when with the use of the camera it will superimpose the feed from the camera with details, great when you want to spot a comet of a specific target. --- Synchronet 3.18a-Linux NewsLink 1.113 MtlGeek - Geeks in Montreal - http://mtlgeek.com/ |
