Image Details:

On the southern edge of Pickett State Park, a IDA Dark Sky Park in Tennessee, this capture of Comet Neowise was taken near 10pm under a star filled sky from the Pogue Creek Canyon overlook. I've not had much luck using my 100mm with my barndoor tracker but no better time to give it another shot at longer with this passing space traveler.. such a beautiful surprise
