Comet NEOWISE at Dawn with Noctilucent Clouds (July 5, 2020)
{"Image ImageDescription": "Bright Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) rising in the northeast into the dawn sky on July 5, 2020, visible here as the small spot left of centre in the bright twilight. The northeast sky was also filled with noctilucent clouds (NLCs) that grew even more extensive this morning as the Sun angle below the horizon decreased and the NLCs lit up more to cover much of the sky. Venus is bright to the right, with the Pleiades start cluster above Venus. Capella is the bright star at top left. The comet is in a line directly down from Capella and just above the orange band of twilight. \\n\\nIn all, this was one of the most amazing morning sky scenes I have seen. What\u2019s more, just after I took this series, the International Space Station flew over. Another image captures that scene. \\n\\nThis was from home in Alberta at about 3:57 am MDT under very clear skies. The comet had passed perihelion only a few days eariler and was emerging here into the dawn sky. \\n\\nThis is a panorama of 4 segments at 1.6 seconds each with the 50mm Sigma lens and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 100.
