NeoWise Composite - a photo on Flickriver

NeoWise Composite

Target: This is my first time capturing a cosmic snowy dirtball, comet Neowise (C/2020 F3). The cropped photo of comet Neowise is a composite of all images captured from my backyard just after sunset on 8, 9 and 10 August 2020 until the comet was obstructed by nearby palm trees. You can see the beautiful green coma surrounding the comet nucleus and a hint of the dust tail caused by particles and gases around the comet being lit up by the Sun.
