yeah, the comet

I got busy w/ certain things so I totally missed. : (  I missed the solar eclipse too as I was working on the car outside and was wondering why it was kind of dark but orange for a while.

I think these space sights are as equivalent to looking at the moon.  If there were 50 comets in the sky and 5 huge moons in the sky like in Planetside 2, it wouldn't really matter much.  Imo, the most important things are what happen at ground level or at least with what we are doing here because if we do it wrong we are paralyzed or worse.

Is that your new drone?

Good luck trying to get a decent photo of a magnitude 3 or dimmer comet on a drone with a wide angle lens.
You'd need even more luck to get a useful, acceptable image.

I did n't use my drone, but did manage this with my DSLR.

Some people use a narrow focal length then stack the photos up with an ultra-wide foreground.

Awesome.  I didn't realise it was visible from the UK.

Clearly visible from the UK. (Or was at the start.  Its rapidly fading now.  Way below magnitude 3).

Yes, but it's likely too dim now... caught a pic with my M2P about 10 days ago and another last Friday.

I went out but couldn't find it at all

You'll see it easily with binoculars or a proper camera.
Naked eye maybe not if you've got light pollution.

I couldn't find it, gave up, looked everywhere even drove an hour+ to find it w/ low light pollution and still couldn't find it.

Hi. Thank you for reaching out to DJI Forum. With regards to this matter. I hope that our valued DJI co pilots can provide you the best information for this query. Thank you and safe flying.

Thats a great of it.  

M2P

It was shot at a bit cloudy and windy night, which was not ideal for long exposure shooting.

This photo has been taken by Air2.The photo is much darker than the M2P shot due to the smaller sensor and ISO value.

Just a couple of my photo shoots of the C/2020 F3 Neowise Comet, not taken with the drone,
but with my Canon EOS 6D MkII with the Sigma APO 70-300.
One was before the dawn of july 8th ( zoom was 90mm focal lenght)
and the second in the night of july 20th from the hills of italian appennines
(zoom was 190mm focal lenght, image is cropped).
Hope you like the effort .

Can you see the particles from its tail moving?

no, absolutely...

gfab71 Posted at 8-4 02:15
no, absolutely...

so it looks static?

AntDX316 Posted at 8-4 16:00

Yes, you cannot see directly particles movements in a comet... it's too far from us...

if you time lapse it w/ a star tracker would it be possible?

No.

My astronomical pictures are done using iOptron SkyGuider Pro startracker..
You can only see differences in the tails day by day, but you cannot
appreciate those changes directly 'live'...
