Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE

Processing of high data RAW image file as promised.

First sighting & image capture of this comet I’ve managed from my home observatory in Conon Bridge, Scottish Highlands.

A very tricky capture as there was only a small narrow gap in the clouds just at the right moment.  The dawn sky was brightening quickly at this northern latitude (57N) and I didn’t have much more time left to catch the comet.

A tricky capture for me – very late to reach darkness at this latitude now (57°N) so object was getting low into the “murk” and skipping the treeline on my WSW horizon.  Managed to catch it as it passed through a gap in the trees and happy enough with the final result.
