Some people are reporting that the Comet is not showing up, perhaps in the free version. I'm using the PLUS version and even then it doesn't show up when you search for it, you just have to aim north at roughly the right time and zoom in a little and it should appear. If it's still not coming up just use the free web version that I linked in the video description. Good luck and clear skies!
Wicked clean shot man, looks perfect. I had my shot all planned out over the mountain called Half Dome in Yosemite NP here in California only to realize they now require vehicle permits because of this Wuhan Virus and them being sold out a month out. Got some clean shots @ the Lick Observatory near San Jose instead the other night but it just wasn’t the same due to the lack of good scenery composition in regards to where the comet was positioned to the landscape....Keep up the great content
Here's a handy link showing how to add C/2020 F3 Neowise to Stellarium. Link: th-cam.com/video/Ijou24bLO9M/w-d-xo.html . Thank you @ Visibledark Astro.
This was without a doubt one of the best vlog ive seen from you. THe emotions man!!! An these noctilucent clouds were insane!!! THank you for also tell us how to use the photopills and stellarium together. I am really glad I watched this video (and massively jealous )
your reaction is just priceless mate! Wonderful combo u captured right there! Normal people will say this is beautiful. Photographers will realize the complexity of the planning of these shots then say it's beautiful. way to go my man! ❤️
I am into late middle age now and I am so sleep deprived I feel like I did 3 months into being a new Mum at 22!! I just know that this is so special (and UK skies so unpredictable) that I can't miss any opportunity to get out there however ill I feel - I think I'm going to be processing images for months! I got into astrophotography about 6 years ago & have spent so many hours star hopping to find tiddly little faint comets and hundreds of stacks of images for little green blobs & last night I was standing in my kitchen waiting for the kettle to boil and looking out my window at the comet AND its tail with my naked eyes! I just can't get over it...
alice w i’m 14 and i’m up every night trying to catch this. sometimes it is raining, sometimes i see venus and think that is neowise, and sometimes i sleep through the night. yeah im gonna miss this comet
What a gorgeous timelapse! And as for trespassing, you should leave them a print at their door with a note that says, "Had to drop by the other night, and this is why. You're welcome."
@@LucyJazzy85 I can understand the excitement. My shot is nothing compared to some of the others I've seen including this one(and those clouds!). I risked a whopping big fine to get mine. What a night.
Jeff Nielsen you’re being too modest and you have only solidified my not-so-humble opinion... not only is your picture historical and a great piece of art, but it’s even better still because it comes with a terrific backstory ... the planning, the intrigue, myths breaking of laws, the risk! “An artist’s work is never done...” and as a photog myself I know the feeling of “I would-ah, should-ah, could-ah...” so don’t compare your work to that of any other’s... beauty is in the eye of the beholder, yes? Besides... a true photog will do nearly anything to get “The Shot” even if it means risking fines, trespassing, and even personal safety (I’m sure you have climbed that tree, hung from that bridge, clung to that 50 metre wall, just so you could “get THAT shot” ... ) I love it... YOUR shot... all the more so BECAUSE you took us all on your journey and we all felt the excitement... and those of us who ARE photogs know firsthand how much effort goes into the timing, the composition, the execution and the blending of a perfect backdrop with the actual subject.... ( especially with digital bc at dusk you can either shoot the sunset but the green trees go dark, or you can shoot the green trees but you blow out the sunset... therefore it’s necessary to blend two exposures...). LOL 😂 What was my point?? Oh yes. Artistic merit. I am standing my ground on my opinion... I would definitely buy your piece should you decide to make prints (and sign them 😁) and I’m quite sure others would as well... of course I am in America so there’s the conversion factor... perhaps I could even get a “finders fee”!?! 😁Yes, I am teasing you now... (sort of...) But at the very least, I have made my point, and you have made a new fan and a new sub. 💜
Bloody amazing Alyn. So chuffed for you. I was out on Saturday morning, got some great shots of the comet and then.. OMG, the noctilucent clouds appeared.. I was like a kid in a candy store. Could not believe it. Needless to say my projected shoot time went out of the window and I strung it out until the comet and clouds disappeared into the dawn light. What a feeling. Keep up the great work, some stunning captures you have got. :-)
Magnificent! Love that you show us how you actually do the planning etc. I’ve struggled with Photo Pills but this has motivated me to watch more tuts on it so when the time comes to plan something like this I am better able to do so. Thank you so much for your incredible work - you are truly an inspiration! Cheers.
Just wanted to say, thanks. Thanks for your videos and inspiration. I recently bought a camera because of your videos and i think it is my new favorite hobby. So just thanks. ^-^
Amazing shots Alyn ! I just started my very first astrophotography session saturday morning inspired by your passionate work that I've discovered. I've also seen the noctulescent clouds next to the comet, I was at the beach in Normandy, France. Very suprised by the result with my Sony a5100 - E16-50mm. Can't wait to learn more about it with your content ! Keep the good work !
Absolutely fantastic as always, Alyn. Wish I knew you were putting this out sooner, it complements a video I’m uploading right now wonderfully. The days ahead are going to be even more exciting for us deep sky folks as it escapes twilight!
I'm in the eastern US as well. I found it, but it's really tiny here for some reason. It's about two fists 'south' of the big dipper in the evening, an hour after sundown. It looked really small and dim, no bigger than a star. You'd need a good telescope to make it out. I had cheap binoculars and I could barely see the tail.
Same with me! I rode a bike waaay out to the outskirts of the city, away from the lights: Nothing! Guess it was best visible in early July and not all throughout the month as many online sources have claimed.
Why have I not seen your video channel before now!!! From one night photographer to another across the globe... Awesome stuff mate!! It looks an amazing experience. I hope it will last and be bright enough to see it Down Under towards the end of the month. PS. You just got a new subscriber :)
Maaaaaaate congrats on a stunningly stunning session. Absolutely beaming sat here watching this with a dumb grin on my chops. I love shooting astro and recall seeing Haleys, and Hale Bopp mind blowing sights. I did shoot McNaught but not a great shot to be honest. I'm buzzing to have a go at this puppy, we get a glimpse in New Zealand from the end of the month cannot wait. TOP quality video Alyn incredible images soooooo happy for you.
Amazing, learned a thing or two about Photopills from this video that i've not used before, thanks. Epic timelapse at the end, and i'm guessing this was Saturday morning ? NLC's in London never got this close to Neowise but i can recognise the similar patterns. Great stuff and also yes, i'm one of them inspired by your good self that now chase NLC's
Oh. If ya use Celestia free astronomy software, you can clearly see the comet, real-time, about 3:40a.m., EST in New York. You have about forty minutes of viewing time before disappearing in the light of morning.
Sweet mother nature! Stunning everything. Info, tips & tricks, photographs and Timelapse :) Well done! Been raining constant for the last 13 days here in Molde, Norway. Maybe a little early to see the comet from the midle of norway atm? I guess in 15 days ish, the night will be darker then right now, hopefully i can go out and see/photograph this myself :) Cheers
Cracking video Alyn. There's more technical info in that video than Google has! I was enjoying photographing the comet from the Long Mynd when the Noctilucent clouds kicked off. It was the most surreal, otherworldly thing I've ever seen. It completely boggled my mind. I absolutely loved it. Like you I shot a load of timelapse too. Had a bunch of editing to get through, images are done but the video editing is yet to begin. Cracking video Alyn.
That time-lapse at the end, completely speechless! What a night out, I'm grinning ear to ear for you and I'm on the wrong side/part of the planet to even have castles, comets or noculant clouds.
Can we notice it with naked eyes I have been trying to get the view for last 2 days no luck so far..I have D5600 and 300mm lens..skies were clear yesterday idk why im not seeing it i cant move out of the city
OMG you are so cute and your shot(s) are just brilliant. I’m in Florida but all my family is in London and Jersey (Channel Island not USA!) so to see you so happy is just a treat (and very American!). I haven’t yet used my Cannon SLR, but I am definitely more motivated after watching you... and I REALLY appreciate all the pointers, you’ve made it easy for us. Thank you and many blessings 💜
Tonite is the nite! Finally getting into clear skies. Trying out my new Samyang 14mm f2.8 on my A7II, and older nikkor 105mm, 135mm, 200mm lenses on my Nikon D7200! Star tracker just came in today too but Im at work. Wont have time to unbox it and figure it out just yet lol
as Nigel says so amazing... i shot the comet last night but no NLC's you are driving me to look... please please tell me how you set your camera up to video at night
So happy for you Alyn! I did watch Trevor’s (@astrobackyard) video first, but the excitement on your face tells the whole story. Well done! Congrats! 🇨🇦
Dude, so amazing!. Im subscribing just because you told me that the information was going to be precise and I just got really excited planning my shooting for the following days. I haven't seen it yet but after watching this video I feel like im definitely going to find it. Cheers!
Great Video Alyn. You were extremely lucky to capture the comet together with NLC. I've seen F3 but not NLC during the Summer I hope I will get the opportunity before the end of the NLC season.
Jealous. I'm at 59 degrees north and the comet is not even visible here. Too bright still. (plenty of NLCs though small consolation prize) Gorgeous shot Alyn!!
I've been out 2 times (Friday and Saturday night). First night really great photo's. Saturday I went with my telescope. I was in the most dark place nearby, turned out a really busy place. Night life in the city center is not yet what is use to be because of Covid-19. Anyway nice shots again. I'm hoping for some clear skies again this Friday and Saturday.
Yup, you're getting us all excited (maybe not as much as you ! :) ), and thus we're going out there, so good on ya for that Alyn! My alarm clock went off at 3:00am, and I had planned a great shot, and got it !! Now to process, stack, but first, S L E E P . . .
Yeah, OK - you win. Big time. SUB'd. Your reaction to the noctilucents was priceless :D I caught some recently at the tail-end of a night shift. Even the mobile managed to do a good job of photographing them being so bright
Hi Alyn, this is fantastic stuff and your passion shows no bounds. I did pay for and download Stellarium Mobile but it does not quite resemble the version in your video. My version is 1.29.12. What is the difference?
That was some morning. Seeing the nlc displays up here in Northumberland last year inspired me to buy a dslr and I've been wanting to photograph nlc's up at Hadrian's Wall ever since. To get that nlc display and the comet all together was just insane. Glad to see someone as stoked as I was!
I threw my DSLR on top of my car tonight after work and shot at 50mm and even at 18mm. I got some decent shots for not having a tripod. I propped the camera up on an old pair of jeans. I should have bumped the ISO up and a tomorrow night I will set up right with my tracker. My 11 year old daughter is excited about going to see it. Thanks for putting this video together. Your work is awesome!!
2 Nights ago I finished work at midnight. I got home and planned to go shoot the comet at about 02:30. During some downtime between finishing work and going out to shoot, I found your channel and watched some of your videos. Then I headed out.... and what did I find?.... The Noctilucent Clouds, staring right at me! Only now am I realising how rare these are!! And how bright they were compared to previous ones! Thank you Alyn for providing inspiration and motivation. I experienced these first hand because of you!
I rented a Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 lens. All of my supper telepho lens are 5.6. I do not have a star tracker so it will need to be single shots. Any suggestion on settings. Cheers
Thank you so much! I used Stellarium and PhotoPills and got great photos of comet with a light house.. this was the perfect video.. amazing work! Looking forward to learn more from you!
OK, we get it... you live in a nicer place than us lol. Even when I catch Neowise with 400mm on a crop sensor, it looks smaller here and my foreground choices are limited, at least by having young kids I need to be nearby for... I haven't edited anything yet though.
Hi Alyn, could you share how you made the first shot of this video? Is that with masking or is it native straight from high ISO video recording? Thanks
I don't even have the gear to do this, but I'd have been as excited as you by only watching it with my own eyes. Amazing job and also sheer luck with those beautiful clouds. Cheers from Colombia :)
outstanding vlog mate, im just down the road from there so be scouting a nice view point next few days for an earlier view. I would just say, for YT view retention purposes, sad to say I know... maybe put the app tutorial at the end, like a " this is how" … I don't know, you've got the experience, but id love this one to blow up, it deserves it, and I think maybe that's the 1 thing that may hold it back. just constructive, ledge vlog tho, peace
Cheers mate. Awesome night. After your first video I went out with the sight of "meh" conditions. Sadly they worsened and I couldn't even see any stars outside. So this was an unfortunate day - not even a good sunrise came from it. Since then I'm planning like a madman for location and time and I really hope that I can get a shot of it. One thing though: I am not really that experienced with the grid so when I see 4-5 degrees up - it seems REALLY low. But in all pictures and your videos it seems "okay". Is there a rule of thumb to get a feel for the height so I roughly know if my composition could fit? I don't want to be on site and then realize that 5 degrees is way too low and I will never see it and wasted a night.
Great video and finally gave me a way to plan out a shot for this. Going to be aiming for Sunset due to my location and the comet's height so maybe not as ideal (it'll be falling down in the sky vs rising) however should be fun and interesting to see what I get. In photopills you can actually do away with the black pin and lock your Azumith to a set degree if you want so that you can just move the shooting location around. Or lock it to the black pin and reverse those two to drag around the black pin where you want to actually shoot from, then swap them again. Done that a few times when I wanted something to be very specifically placed in the frame. Now if I could figure out a way to get out in the AM somewhere for this I'd be super happy, however my area is still on semi-lockdown so like all the camps, parks, etc are a no go and downtown at 4-5am is kinda the same thing :(
Great stuff i would wish to start astrophotograpy to observe deep sky objects like the andromeda galaxy .What should i begin with like all accessories needed for capturing deep sky objects within budget. Please reply as fast as possible
Oh, man! I love this video and all th emotions we all can probably feel whenever the pieces falls perfectly into place! Many claps for you and all the effort to put this content up. One thing, I’ve seen it tree times already, hoping it was not me letting some info pass by, but can you share a bit of the settings/equipment you used in your timelapse? Mostly focal length... it was insane! Congrats!
Great post, and amazing images!! You might want to check out an app called Star Walk 2, I have no affiliation with the app or the developers. The app uses an augmented view with your cell phones camera so you can point it at your subject and then swip through time and see exactely where an object in th sky is located in relationship to subject on Earth.
I am trying to view the comet from San Antonio, Texas. I am not looking to take any professional pictures or so, I would like to see it and njoy the moment. Do you or of you reading this know anything about the actual visibility and timing of the Comet? I am using the App you mentioned, how accurate are the timings and actual visibility using that app?
Get out and see this Comet before it goes. I found you don't necessarily need a long exposure/tripod to get a good photo. Even better, view from binoculars. Amazing how this is a naked eye comet and much talk about it is silent.
Some people are reporting that the Comet is not showing up, perhaps in the free version. I'm using the PLUS version and even then it doesn't show up when you search for it, you just have to aim north at roughly the right time and zoom in a little and it should appear. If it's still not coming up just use the free web version that I linked in the video description. Good luck and clear skies!
Fabulous
Had to add and download it on my desktop version
The comet shows in the web app, but in the desktop version i couldn't find it. Jason Bishop have the answer i see :)
Wicked clean shot man, looks perfect. I had my shot all planned out over the mountain called Half Dome in Yosemite NP here in California only to realize they now require vehicle permits because of this Wuhan Virus and them being sold out a month out. Got some clean shots @ the Lick Observatory near San Jose instead the other night but it just wasn’t the same due to the lack of good scenery composition in regards to where the comet was positioned to the landscape....Keep up the great content

Nasr Jaber indeed
yeah, so over the top. Fun the first time, not so after.
I am into late middle age now and I am so sleep deprived I feel like I did 3 months into being a new Mum at 22!!

Wow! Awesome. No worries about the phone line. Use Photoshop Content Aware Fill. Congratulations!
Wow you are lucky... That you saw the commet
@@cottontheeastercottontailr265 Oh hey, it's you from the other video. Good luck with finding this comet!
Congratulation!
The greatest photographs taken from this comet I had seen so far!
What a gorgeous timelapse! And as for trespassing, you should leave them a print at their door with a note that says, "Had to drop by the other night, and this is why. You're welcome."
Great idea 💡 but I bet he could sell it... it’s a great piece of art as well as history. 💜

YESS!! I saw it with my bare eyes from Cairo, Egypt 🇪🇬 and it was so magical!
That is very good from your latitude. I'm on the same latitude and it never seems to climb enough to clear horizon clouds or distant trees.
Great Video Alyn. You were extremely lucky to capture the comet together with NLC. I've seen F3 but not NLC during the Summer I hope I will get the opportunity before the end of the NLC season.

I've been out 2 times (Friday and Saturday night). First night really great photo's. Saturday I went with my telescope. I was in the most dark place nearby, turned out a really busy place. Night life in the city center is not yet what is use to be because of Covid-19. Anyway nice shots again. I'm hoping for some clear skies again this Friday and Saturday.
Yup, you're getting us all excited (maybe not as much as you ! :) ), and thus we're going out there, so good on ya for that Alyn! My alarm clock went off at 3:00am, and I had planned a great shot, and got it !! Now to process, stack, but first, S L E E P . . .
Absolutely amazing. It's sheer beauty. You are one lucky man for everything to fall right in place. Clear skies Alyn! Ur inspiring!
I love to hear the excited whispers of a magician behind the camera. Pure magic, what a beauty this is!
Awesome video once again!!!! So jealous, as no Comet Neowise visible here in Australia yet... maybe next week though!
i have just watched astrobackyard's video with you and accidentally scrolled down the line a bit to see your video next
Hello Alyn, just awesome, great video and photographs. So much knowledge past on. Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe 😷
Yeah, OK - you win. Big time. SUB'd. Your reaction to the noctilucents was priceless :D I caught some recently at the tail-end of a night shift. Even the mobile managed to do a good job of photographing them being so bright
Hi Alyn, this is fantastic stuff and your passion shows no bounds.
I did pay for and download Stellarium Mobile but it does not quite resemble the version in your video. My version is 1.29.12. What is the difference?
That was some morning. Seeing the nlc displays up here in Northumberland last year inspired me to buy a dslr and I've been wanting to photograph nlc's up at Hadrian's Wall ever since. To get that nlc display and the comet all together was just insane. Glad to see someone as stoked as I was!
I threw my DSLR on top of my car tonight after work and shot at 50mm and even at 18mm. I got some decent shots for not having a tripod. I propped the camera up on an old pair of jeans. I should have bumped the ISO up and a tomorrow night I will set up right with my tracker. My 11 year old daughter is excited about going to see it. Thanks for putting this video together. Your work is awesome!!
2 Nights ago I finished work at midnight.
I got home and planned to go shoot the comet at about 02:30.
During some downtime between finishing work and going out to shoot, I found your channel and watched some of your videos.
Then I headed out.... and what did I find?.... The Noctilucent Clouds, staring right at me!
Only now am I realising how rare these are!! And how bright they were compared to previous ones!
Thank you Alyn for providing inspiration and motivation. I experienced these first hand because of you!
I rented a Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 lens. All of my supper telepho lens are 5.6. I do not have a star tracker so it will need to be single shots. Any suggestion on settings. Cheers
Thanks for that Alyn, one small question, WHAT? 🤯😆😆. Yeah that’s gonna take a few views 🙂
Thank you so much! I used Stellarium and PhotoPills and got great photos of comet with a light house.. this was the perfect video.. amazing work! Looking forward to learn more from you!
OK, we get it... you live in a nicer place than us lol. Even when I catch Neowise with 400mm on a crop sensor, it looks smaller here and my foreground choices are limited, at least by having young kids I need to be nearby for... I haven't edited anything yet though.
Hi Alyn, could you share how you made the first shot of this video? Is that with masking or is it native straight from high ISO video recording? Thanks
I saw some amazing shots of the comet with the Northern Lights from Manitoba in Canada from Monday and Tuesday night. Whoa!
Coming for the 2023/A3 atlas, RIP
NEO=near earth orbit? WISE=wisdom? 🤔 hhhmmmm curious.
I don't even have the gear to do this, but I'd have been as excited as you by only watching it with my own eyes. Amazing job and also sheer luck with those beautiful clouds.
Cheers from Colombia :)
So happy to see you so happy getting great photos and videos. ✨👽✨☀️🌹✨👍
Beautiful vid and beautiful shots Alyn. Inspiring stuff to say the least. Loved watching this.
Hope you show your workflow at PC on this stunning images.
Great video; I’ll try to catch him in 2 nights. Fingers crosses
outstanding vlog mate, im just down the road from there so be scouting a nice view point next few days for an earlier view. I would just say, for YT view retention purposes, sad to say I know... maybe put the app tutorial at the end, like a " this is how" … I don't know, you've got the experience, but id love this one to blow up, it deserves it, and I think maybe that's the 1 thing that may hold it back. just constructive, ledge vlog tho, peace
Total mind blowing, ,,,,,,,! My photos of Neowise are not like yours lol thank you Alyn
Cheers mate. Awesome night.
After your first video I went out with the sight of "meh" conditions. Sadly they worsened and I couldn't even see any stars outside. So this was an unfortunate day - not even a good sunrise came from it.
Since then I'm planning like a madman for location and time and I really hope that I can get a shot of it.
One thing though: I am not really that experienced with the grid so when I see 4-5 degrees up - it seems REALLY low. But in all pictures and your videos it seems "okay". Is there a rule of thumb to get a feel for the height so I roughly know if my composition could fit? I don't want to be on site and then realize that 5 degrees is way too low and I will never see it and wasted a night.
If there's any posable way, power line will mess up a great view, they will! It's an unwritten law or something! The end results were amazing!
Great video and finally gave me a way to plan out a shot for this. Going to be aiming for Sunset due to my location and the comet's height so maybe not as ideal (it'll be falling down in the sky vs rising) however should be fun and interesting to see what I get.
In photopills you can actually do away with the black pin and lock your Azumith to a set degree if you want so that you can just move the shooting location around. Or lock it to the black pin and reverse those two to drag around the black pin where you want to actually shoot from, then swap them again. Done that a few times when I wanted something to be very specifically placed in the frame.
Now if I could figure out a way to get out in the AM somewhere for this I'd be super happy, however my area is still on semi-lockdown so like all the camps, parks, etc are a no go and downtown at 4-5am is kinda the same thing :(
So excited for you Alyn! And thank you so much for sharing what you know!
Great stuff i would wish to start astrophotograpy to observe deep sky objects like the andromeda galaxy .What should i begin with like all accessories needed for capturing deep sky objects within budget. Please reply as fast as possible
I really hope can see from Indonesia, but from the news, Indonesia can see it from 20 July, and the brightness is already diminish
Can you do guide video how to take pictures of Comet NEOWISE with a smart phone. ☄️
What time at night we’re these captured? Absolutely amazing photos!
Oh, man! I love this video and all th emotions we all can probably feel whenever the pieces falls perfectly into place! Many claps for you and all the effort to put this content up. One thing, I’ve seen it tree times already, hoping it was not me letting some info pass by, but can you share a bit of the settings/equipment you used in your timelapse? Mostly focal length... it was insane! Congrats!
Great post, and amazing images!! You might want to check out an app called Star Walk 2, I have no affiliation with the app or the developers. The app uses an augmented view with your cell phones camera so you can point it at your subject and then swip through time and see exactely where an object in th sky is located in relationship to subject on Earth.
I am trying to view the comet from San Antonio, Texas. I am not looking to take any professional pictures or so, I would like to see it and njoy the moment. Do you or of you reading this know anything about the actual visibility and timing of the Comet? I am using the App you mentioned, how accurate are the timings and actual visibility using that app?
Get out and see this Comet before it goes. I found you don't necessarily need a long exposure/tripod to get a good photo. Even better, view from binoculars. Amazing how this is a naked eye comet and much talk about it is silent.
Hi Alyn what Lens do use for vlogging? Specifically at night. I have A7s and A73
Absolutely stunning. Are you tempted to go for an APOD with your timelapse? It's soo much better than todays, which is good in of itself.
I was up one of your previous haunts , the Bwlch , staggering views of comet , noctilucent clouds and a rising Venus. Spectacular
