Bright Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) rising in the northeast into the bright dawn sky on July 5, 2020. This was from home in Alberta looking toward the Wintering Hills Windfarm towers on the horizon. Fog lies in the low valleys. This was about 3:45 am MDT under very clear skies. A fabulous display of noctilucent clouds also appeared this morning. The comet had passed perihelion only a few days eariler and was emerging here into the dawn sky. This was with the 200mm telephoto and 1.4x Extender for 280mm focal length, untracked for 1.3 seconds at ISO 400 with the Canon 6D MkII. The ground is a stack of 5 exposures to smooth noise in the dark ground.

This is a panorama of 10 segments shot with the 85mm Rokinon lens on the Canon 6D MkII camera at ISO 100 for 4 seconds each, and taken at 10° spacings which made it possible for Adobe Camera Raw to stitch the segments. The original is almost 30,000 pixels wide.
