July 12, 2020 — The comet NEOWISE C2020 F3 made it surprise appearance in the sky in March of 2020. July 12th was nearing the time that it would no longer be visible in the morning pre-dawn. Reports from observers indicated that the tail of the comet would be at it longest around this date. I almost didn’t go up to RMNP because it meant getting up at 1AM to drive up to the park. Having seen some other’s shots I pushed myself to make the effort. So glad I did. “Neowise is one of the few comets visible to the unaided eye this century, an inner-solar system “intruder” that might become known as the Great Comet of 2020″, NASA said. It won’t make another appearance for 6800 years. I shoot this from Rainbow Curve in RMNP as the comet’s head rose above the Mummy Mountains.
This is a Single shot, Sony A7Rii, Sigma 24-7mm f/2.8 @ 70mm, f/3.5, 10 sec. ISO 2500 RAW format. Processing using Camera RAW and Photoshop.
