Comet NEOWISE at 85mm - a photo on Flickriver

Comet NEOWISE at 85mm

            Day 5 of waking up at 4am to watch this cosmic spectacle. I enjoyed viewing it through my telescope while taking the exposures for this shot.

I wanted to try a new technique/software I've heard of but haven't used yet. I shot a lot of "quick" exposure frames each at 3.2 seconds. I wound up stacking 45 of those using Sequator to keep the landscape static but align and stack the moving parts of the sky. It allows for low noise photos of the moving night sky against a landscape with no tracking mount. I chose my 85mm f/1.4 it's my fastest telephoto lens to allow me to do as short of exposures as possible. Every time I use that 85 I remember why I can't ever sell it...it's just a killer lens.
