[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 171223, member: 201"] Comet Neowise... I originally planned to drive outside of town slightly for any of the pics I was going to attempt to take of the comet. Having a poor nights sleep the night before, I chose to be a little lazy and just went into my front yard for this shot. I was just barely able to find it by averting my eyes slightly from where I thought it was going to be. Got the shot right off the bat which considering I couldn't actually see it in the viewfinder, I took as a win. I then took a series of shots at different ISO settings and times so I could pick from the better of them. Hopefully, the next ones I try to get will be better since the best night should be next Weds or Thurs ...
