Gregory, I agree with your observations. I wish I had a good black background but not to be. The tail was somewhat invisible so some adjustment was made to make it a little more obvious. Maybe in the process I also lightened up the background. Oh, well. At least it IS the comet!! Will not wait for the 7000 years for it to come back. I am sure there will be another coming our way soon. I photographed Hale-Bopp as well as Hyakutake. :) Andy > On Jul 25, 2020, at 3:23 PM, Gregory <fyrframe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi, > > I would like to highlight Andrew's image of Neowise. It isn't a top of the line image, but you did every thing right, so kudos to you. The star trailing is normal for this type of shot. The comet is over exposed. You want a black background, not one that has light enough to affect contrast or lessens the impact of the image. Great shot none the less. > > I, on the other hand miss most of this stuff these days.
