C/2020 F3 NEOWISE Comet Wide Field

I was finally able able to get out and capture the NEOWISE Comet from South Florida, which was no easy task. I made multiple attempts when it was in the N-NE at 4am and thankfully on my first attempt after it passed the Sun I was able to see it at night. Not completely naked eye visible but great views in my 80mm binoculars and still bright enough to capture with my DSLR. The Comet was first discovered in March 2020 and will not return to our solar system for another 6000-7000 years.
