I love the way you still get the detail in the sky. Any idea what shutter speed that was?

And not much noise.

The non-drone pic was taken on my Panasonic G9. I’ve been impressed with the lack of noise in the mid-range ISOs.

This was from 5 sec images.

… although compressing to keep below the GADC 50mb has introduced some compression artefacts.

That is amazing. Well done. Is there a special Neowise Comet badge?

You must have had some good sighting up north where you are … and with darker skies.
(Although night skies not so dark in summer.)

Just taken a look. They are fascinating! I love the one where it goes from day through to night when you see the stars appearing :+1:t2:

Thanks … that takes so much editing of each image to smooth out the many exposure changes. (some the wrong way, accidentally)

During that comet’s visibility, my poor G9 took just over 15 thousand time-lapse images. LOL!

Sadly there were so many cloudy skies when it was around. I only remember one when I was just going to bed and couldn’t be arsed to get the drone or the telescope out.

Yeah - it was very north and around at very antisocial hours. I had about 9 all-night sessions … some clouded beyond use.

That good night I thought" nah, I’ll get it tomorrow and set up nice and early" and it never happened again.

I managed to get it several times over almost a month.
