Great shot Pierre!

I am very impressed with the images of Comet Neowise that several of you have been getting. I have been thwarted the times I have run out to try to get an image. Even on supposed "clear" nights, there has been enough low clouds that I have not yet seen it.

Instead, I took the M6II and 500 mm plus TCs and aimed it at Jupiter and Saturn to see what I could capture and got the second two. The first was actually from earlier in the year with less humidity in the sky so I actually got some bands on Jupiter.

This was actually my first attempt the other night, 2x TC, 1000 mm, 0.5 sec, f/8, ISO 12,800. I tried to dial it in from there, but actually liked this over exposure.

Not winning any awards, but I am still impressed what a birding set up was able to accomplish.
