How to Photograph Comet NEOWISE Apps | Location | Settings

How to photograph comet NEOWISE. The apps I use, location, settings and gear that I used.

I heard about Neowise only a few days ago and instantly had to dive into figuring out to capture it. So last night I grabbed my gear and headed to the darkest spot I could find and waited patiently for 4 hours until I was happy.

Regardless of my camera dying on me, my live view disabling and then my exposure preview stopping I was still able to capture a moment in history. I still plan to go out and capture more stunning shots of this astro event.

I hope in my video you find some pointers and tips that maybe the other channels haven't touched on.

Good stuff. I’ve shot Milky Way but never a comet. Yours was near the top of the list and being in MD, it was relevant from your location.

Awesome tips bro! I actually got a shot of the comet by accident! I just uploaded it to my channel lol.

Having trouble getting good comet shoots with my 70-200 lens. What aperature, shutter speed and ISO are you using for this particular lens? Any help will be appreciated.
