Comet C/2020 F3 Neowise Mt. Tolmie
Here's an initial cut of Comet C/2020 F3 Neowise around midnight/morning of July 20/21. In spite of thin cloud the comet was still visible to the unaided eye, if you knew where to look. The ion tail is visible wiith some more detail of both tails around the head area. Through the camera the head of the comet was very green. I provided an inset of a single frame to show this. This is a work in progress. I would like to produce an image where these elements are integrated soon perhaps under darker skies than Mt. Tolmie's urban setting.
