Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)

On July 11th 2020 I drove out to the Keeper's Pond at Blaenavon.

I used an AstroTrack mount, a Canon 50D DSLR camera with a Tamron 18mm to 270mm zoom lens.

The lens was set at f/6.3 with the camera ISO set at 800.

I captured sets of three, two minute exposures which were averaged together to reveal the final results.
