I captured this image of the fog rolling in over the trees late on a Saturday night at the Wakefield School in The Plains, VA, while experimenting with the equatorial tracker in anticipation of the Perseid meteors the following week (though, the weather here did not work out for those). Click here for a version with some of the stars labeled.

By this time in month, the comet was getting tougher to see and certainly not providing the visual of just 10 days prior. But, provided this opportunity when shooting from the graveyard at Oak Dale Church in Greenwich, VA.

Again, a few days later, I find one of my favorite spots, the dam at Lake Ashby, to shoot not just the comet, but the International Space Station. This 20-second exposure catches the Station streaking across the sky above NEOWISE.

A few days later, the comet shifted to being more visible after sunset. This was shot from Rollins Ford Rd.

A few days later, the weather cooperated for the next opportunity. This was one of those few times when I was able to walk out to the designated spot, look in the direction, and there it was. Shot in the early morning from behind The Nokesville School.

Close up view on the first morning.
