Wow!!! Blown away that you can see the bands and rings without a telescope. These are cool.
I was able to capture Neowise, but nothing spectacular. When I finally spotted it (barely visible just after 10PM), I wasn't in a a position to include an interesting foreground.
I found focusing incredibly difficult. For astro images I normally zoom in to 10x and adjust focus until the stars are tack sharp, but because the sky around Neowise wasn't completely dark, and nothing was visible in the viewfinder I was basically guessing.
In hindsight I would have shot wider. I took this with my 70-200mm thinking that a compressed image would be better, but it still would have been impressive and easier to shoot with less magnification.
