In my last post you saw the first installment of our weekend adventure! We were determined to see comet Neowise. This comet was discovered in March by scientists using NASA’s Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer Telescope, and is supposed to be visible in Northern latitudes with the naked eye – or at least binoculars. Last summer, Wren and I fell in love with star-watching and I started trying to learn star (night sky) photography. So we headed out again last night with high hopes! When we started driving West, there were quite a few clouds.
Thankfully, the clouds were gone in time for sunset and the comet’s rise. We watched the fireflies while we waited.
Thank goodness we had some technological help! Rick has the Starwalk app, and we were able to get a reasonable idea where to watch!
Finally, it was dark enough and we were able to see this!
It was the most beautiful thing! We are so glad that we were able to see this amazing event! We were out pretty late, so no recording from Wren today (sorry!), but we will have some new installments of the hymns of comfort this week!
Absolutely amazing! You are an incredible photographer!!
