Comet and the noctilucent clouds…above Prague
This summer night sky couldn’t be more generous. It provides an amazing view of comet Neowise (C-2020 F3), that can be clearly seen with the naked eye. In addititon, there is noctilucent clouds (NLC). It is a special type of cloud that has little connection with ordinary cloud cover. They appear as thin streaks of “cloud”, often a pearly-blue colour, reminiscent of “mares-tail” cirrus cloud formations. They are visible only during summer months when the Sun is below the observer's horizon, but while the clouds are still in sunlight.
I have to admit I couldn’t imagine capturing both such phenomena at one time. And right at my home town above our dear Prague Castle. I felt immensely blessed.
Panorama compiled from total of 28 frames (3-level exposure bracketing of landscape, 14 frames in two rows).
Equipment: Nikon D850, Carl Zeiss Milvus 135mm f-2.0
