Neowise at Reculver 10/11 July

[MarkS]

Neowise is still an easy naked eye object.  Visually the tail is at least 2 degress long.  In my 12x36 binoculars, it's very bright and the tail is obvious right across the field of view i.e. 5 degrees.

Here is Neowise taken 2:15am Sat 11 July at Reculver in Kent:



10sec exposure at ISO 800 f/4 using 18-55mm kit lens on Canon 600D

Here also is very quick processing of another single 10sec exposure using the RedCat51 on a Nikon Z6:



If you avert vision and/or tilt your screen, you can just make out the blue ion tail above the dust tail.  This should look really good once I've taken flats and stacked a whole pile of exposures.

I've seen a picture taken at Reculver this morning (Sunday).  It shows a tail nearly 10 degrees long!

Lovely pictures Mark and the ion tail didn't need averted vision
