Comet NEOWISE this morning. If you have a DSLR and are familiar with the manual setting, set ISO at 1,600 and time at (depending on the lens length) 600 divided by the focal length of the lens. In other words, if your using a telephoto lens of 200mm - 600 divided by 200 is 3 seconds time exposure. The first photo was taken through a 3" scope and the second with a Nikon 200mm telephoto lens. Good luck.

Posted by starwatcher-alSolar minimum was in 2019 so the sun is ramping up in flares, spots and prominences.
Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
