18th June 2020: The Comet Neowise fail

My parent heard that I had been trying to catch a glimpse of Comet Neowise, and decided that their roof was the best place to set a telescope to watch. Thing is that their telescope is not an astronomy one, but a shooting one. I’m actually pretty sure that the comet was just behind the opposite roof as it should be just underneath Ursa Major, but we had a few laughs and took a picture that after a lot of postprocessing looks semi-decent.

Ursa Major

After everything Covid, being able to do something silly like this feels at the same time bizarre and great. What a crazy ride of a year…
