Comet C/2020 F3 (Neowise) 18/07/2020

A stack of 22 images - sky conditions were poor with passing high clouds and light pollution (Bortle 4) and the lens used has quite a bit of vignetting, so stretching proved tough. A combination of Deep Sky Stacker (comet + stars mode, only light frames), Astro Pixel Processor (background removal), Photoshop (stretching, colours, and further noise removal) and Lightroom (some local adjustments) did the trick.

Thanks Bryan! I had to battle in post against gradients to retrieve details and colour as well, and that was from Bortle 4 skies, so I'm not surprized Silicon Valley skies made that impossible.

A spectacular capture, Greg. Nice with the blue tail.
I tried the same thing last night, got the split tail, but without the blue colors.
Also in the bright skies of sillycon valley.
