Comet Hunting 3

I returned to the same location in Sunnyvale for viewing Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE. This night was the end of the peak for viewing. After this, it will fade off into the distance and not return for 8000 years.

This evening the sky was much clearer but the wind was stronger. So even though the view was better, it was still hard to get a clear shot because the wind noticeably vibrates the tripod over the course of 10-30 second exposures taken here.

A final effort last night to get pics of Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE before it fades away in the distance. It was clear but windy at the southern tip of SF Bay - difficult to keep the tripod completely still. Got enough good shots to declare victory. #astronomy #CometNEOWISE #cycling
