About this image

I had heard about the comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) and I decided to search for it. I set up my mini tripod on my bedroom window ledge.

When I looked in the correct area, I noticed a fuzzy light pearing around the roof line of a neighbour’s house.

After taking a shot, I could see the tail of the comet where I saw the haze.

when I consider that these shots were taken through a double glazed window, I think it went quite well, this because the window would not open enough, but I needed the elevation to see the object from my house.
