a journey through landscapes real and imagined

Twinkle, Twinkle…

We’ve been out watching the comet again! I’ve also been working on my night photography skills, and I’m excited to share! First, some music to set the mood!

Comet Neowise was discovered in March of this year, and will not be back for 6,800 years! We enjoyed seeing the comet so much last weekend, that we decided to try again this weekend! We went out on Friday night and it was so amazing! This time, we could actually see the comet without my camera lens! The stars were really out, and we could even see some of the milky way! We had some friends who met us out in our favorite soybean field, and they brought a spotting scope (don’t worry, we all wore masks!). With the scope, we could even see 4 moons of Jupiter! I don’t have a photo, but trust me…it was beautiful! Here are some of my favorite shots!

The sunset did not disappoint!
First glimpse! The clouds covered the comet briefly, but we had wonderful views after a slow start.
Finally free of the clouds
I used my wide-angle lens, but hopefully you can see the details…so many stars! The comet is under the Big Dipper.
