Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) + NLCs

#1

Post by Paramount »


Hi all
I've managed to process the time lapse data that I shot of Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) last night in the field above Nidd Gorge close by where I live. I managed to get some Noctilucent Clouds (NLCs) as well which was nice. The only downside is that a small insect decided to land on my lens during the evening so there is a dark out of focus shape on some of the clips. This comet is visible to the naked eye but does show up better on camera. I have also enclosed a link to the full 4K version. The clips were shot with a Sony A7iii with a Samyang 85mm f1.4 with exposures of 5 seconds at f2.8 and ISO800 and a Sony A7Sii with a Samyang 24mm f1.4 with exposures of 10 seconds at f2.8 and ISO400

Currently using Sony A7iii and A7Sii, Samyang 12mm f2.8 fisheye and 24mm f1.4 lenses, Dynamic Perceptions Stage One carbon slider with Sapphire Pro pan and tilt head, Timelapse +view "Holy Grail" intervalometer
