Comet NEOWISE...

The comet's full designation is C/2020 F3 NEOWISE.  "NEOWISE" is a reference to the NASA space-telescope that is called "Near-Earth Object Wide (field) Infrared Survey Explorer."  We just refer to it as "the comet."  

This image was taken on a ridge overlooking Lytle Creek Rd.  

30-second exposure.  f/3.5.  ISO 1600.
