A 240° panorama of the fabulous dawn sky on July 5, 2020, filled with noctilucent clouds (NLCs) up to and beyond the zenith, as well as the array of four planets: Venus low on the horizon at left of centre, Mars at right of centre, and the pairing of Saturn and Jupiter (brightest) at far right, just above the setting Full Moon. The Moon had undergone a partial penumbral eclipse at moonrise 6 hours earlier. The Big Dipper and Polaris are at far left. Altair is the star above Jupiter and Saturn. This truly was an amazing sky! Comet NEOWISE was also in the scene but too small to record here. This is a panorama of 8 segments, each 1 second at f/2.8 with the Rokinon 14mm SP lens and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 100. Stitched with PTGui as ACR would not handle images from such a wide lens.
Comet Hyakutake March 1996 4-inch apo refractor at f/4.5 Fuji Super G 800 print film 10 minute exposure?? auto-guided on comet head
Comet Hyakutake, from Big Dipper to Coma Berenices with its maximum tail length this night at closest approach to Earth. This was on March 25, 1996, shot with the 28mm Nikkor lens at f/2.8 on Fuji Super G 800 film for about a 5 minute tracked exposure. I also have a 105mm telephoto lens image shot at the same time. Re-processed in 2020.
