Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)
Comet NEOWISE became a worldwide sensation when it unexpectedly achieved naked-eye visibility in early July, making it the brightest northern comet since the Great Comet of 1997, Hale-Bopp. Despite putting on the best show in 23 years, NEOWISE was not a Great Comet. Hopefully, we will see one of those soon! NEOWISE continues to fade away. Its appearance is now similar to a normal comet, except for the faint remnants of its dust tail. Soon it will disappear and become history! Apparent magnitude: 7.0 (estimate from Stellarium) Distance from Earth: 1.144 AU Orbital period: 6,953 years Velocity (relative to Sun): 25 mile/s (40 km/s) Total integration: 1 hour 6 minutes 66 x 60 seconds ISO200 Camera: Canon T3i (stock / unmodified / unmodded DSLR) Telescope: Explore Scientific ED80 f/6.0 Apochromatic Refractor (with ES field flattener) Mount: Orion Sirius EQ-G Guide scope: Svbony 50mm f/4.0 Guide Scope Guide camera: Orion StarShoot AutoGuider Software: N.I.N.A. with PlateSolve2 and PHD2 Bortle Class 7 ~18.44 mag/arcsec^2 (Coral Springs, FL) Pre-processed with PixInsight, processed with PixInsight and Paint.NET |
