Comet Neowise over Morro Rock
Comet Neowise over Morro Rock

Was blessed with clear skies and a perfect evening to shoot Neowise in Morro Bay. So happy I got the chance to see and photograph this memorable event, and I couldn't ask for a nicer setting.

An interesting note:
The Satellite WISE was launched from our very own Vandenberg AFB on 12/14/2009 for the purpose of Wide Field Infared exploration. In Sept of 2010 it ran out of the necessary cooling hydrogen for that purpose and went into hibernation. It was reactivated in Sept of 2013 to use the still viable camera to search for Near Earth Objects (NEO), thus officially being renamed to NEOWISE. It discovered the Comet which they also named NEOWISE in March of 2020.
