Comet Neowise made its first appearance on March 27, 2020 by NASA's *Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer*; hence the comet's name NEOWISE.
This comet can be viewed in the NW (North West) area below the Big Dipper and will only be seen again approximately 6,800 years from now. This makes it a very important and once in a lifetime opportunity to photograph.
To capture Neowise, I used my Nikon d7100 and 35mm F1.8 lens for most of my photos, and to photograph the comet itself, I used a 85mm F1.8 lens.
I was privileged to have photographed Comet Neowise four times; twice in the Speightstown area and another two times in my home area of St. Joseph. The first time I did it was with a group of photographers, however, due to the comet's location, with it being too low to the horizon, I was unable to get a proper photo.
However, despite the setbacks from the first and third outing, I am satisfied with my results and I am happy that I was able to capture this once in a lifetime phenomenon.
Unfortunately, because the moon will be in the sky for the time being, it will not be as easy to find it, but using an app like SkySafari will help a lot.
