Sorry to hear that your own photos were not so good. I think there are a few more days left, or wait 6,800 years!

My dear Füsun
Thank you very much!
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
Of course you have the daytime picture to match!
It is very difficult to see in anywhere with streetlights, that is why we came here!
As you say, we have the special memories!

Two great favourites of mine here Peter. Photos of dark skies and stars and this windmill. I was hoping to catch the comet too but with heavy cloud and constant drizzle I had no chance. The same all this week! You have done well here at 20 secs not to get movement in the stars. Great catch.

Cley windmill,I know very well indeed having both stayed there overnight some 40 years back and more recently attending the wedding of my Niece within the mill itself. Also got photos of the happy couple behind that same fence -her in full white wedding dress blowing in the wind! ( I must resurrect some of those photos again). Thanks for the memories. Wonderful stuff my friend. ⭐

HFF, have a great weekend. Herb

(ps you have come a long way with this Nikon now)

Hi Herb ,
Thank you for visiting!
I'm happy that you had a good look, and that it has brought back happy memories for you!

Obviously a lot of planning went into this to find somewhere with a clear sky, no streetlights, and ideally with a nice foreground object when looking north. I visited a shortlist of sites earlier in the day to see what was there, and settled on this one for the early hours of the morning.

I know you will fully appreciate the technical side.. do I up the ISO, or lengthen the time? In this case, since it is quite a wide angle, I figured that the movement of stars across the sky would be negligible in 20 secs. With the bigger magnification in www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/50166138 I went for 10 secs.

I have one more picture from here to post, so watch this space!

I also think that you have a few more days available before it goes away, so look for a clear sky out on the moors somewhere!

Great capture! If not these nights, the next chance will occur within about 7,000 years! We will be less firm holding the camera, by then... HFF, Herb!

Hi Peter,
this capture is really fantastic. I like the beautiful dark sky with so many stars and the comet. It' s a fine combination with the windmill too.

Stunning shot Peter I am glad that you did get a shot . We have yet to see it not just because of rain and clouds but position. I have done my best by looking but sadly nothing to show for it. You took the photo correctly for a tripod but would have been touch and go by hand. the sad part is I have yet to see any comet but I will get lucky but I dont think with Neowise and its 7000 year cycle.
I like the wind mill gives us some scale and reality I know the night sky is hard to get that reality so you can work out scale. This is why you see people add the milky way with shots of the ground and why my Bows have the ground as well they become more real.

Well done and as you see the hardest shot was getting out there first up in the dark but now its easy for you. you will note I have suggested groups as well for your photo'(s).
