[Leica] More Neowise from Yakima

[Howard L Ritter Jr]

Those are wonderful images, Aram! The comet over the water just blows me away. You might consider submitting it to Astronomy Photo of the Day (APOD). Best landscape image of this comet that I’ve yet seen.

Chafing here under cloudy weather as the comet gets higher away from the dome of deep twilight and into darker sky, and fainter. I still haven’t got it in a dark enough sky to be able to image the faint blue ion tail as you did.
