Thanks to its five-kilometer-wide icy nucleus, the comet survived a close approach to the sun and is now seen both before dawn and at dusk in the northern latitudes (but not in the Arctic where the night is still too bright). Swipe for a closer view through a 600 mm telephoto. The comet tail was visible to naked eye too but fainter & smaller than what you see here, a single exposure photograph of 15 seconds through 135mm lens. Last evening, far from city lights on this lake in New Hampshire, the new Comet NEOWISE was pure spectacle to the camera. "Comets are unpredictable in how visible they will be, so I recommend try to get out as soon as you can if you want to try and catch a glimpse of this spectacular event," photographer Lester Tsai said on Instagram. #lestertsaiphotography #neowise #cometneowise #discoverwithalpha #sonyalpha #sonya7riv #sonygmaster #mykgw #bbcearth #nationalgeographic #koin6news #fox12news #pnwphotographer #mthoodterritory #oregonexplored #pnwisbeautiful #pnwonderland #pnwadventurers #mthood #pnwphotography #portlandphotographer #pdxphotographer #pdxphotography #portlandphotography #comet #nightsky #myplanetdaily #earthfocus #keepportlandweirdĪ post shared by Lester Tsai on at 1:20pm PDT at 1:20pm PDT Shot with the A7RIV and 105mm f/1.4 Art lens. This celestial visitor won’t be around again for almost 7,000 years so catch it while you can! If you look closely you can see the second faint tail. It took two hours of waiting but Comet NEOWISE finally lined up directly over beautiful Mt Hood as the horizon began to fill with color from the approaching dawn.
