Very neat. I saw it from a location just west of Phoenix Arizona two nights in a row. I wasn't expecting much but was stunned when I got out of my car and looked up and there it was right in front of me with the naked eye. I managed to get some great pictures (at least I think they're great) with my cell phone though they are obviously not as good as yours. Wonderfull to see such a thing and to think that the last time this was seen on earth was by Neanderthals 80000 years ago.
I’ve been out for the past 7 nights to view this comet and each night we’ve had cloud cover! So I’m glad for clips like this. Thanks for uploading. Astronomy is such a disappointing hobby, so weather dependent!
@ Well, I managed to see it eventually. We had one clear night and after scanning the area, I picked it up. Not as clear as what you saw, but I saw it, and that what matters. Amazing to see something 40,000,000 miles away that is so small, but so clear. Don’t give up uploading your vids though. There are always people who can’t get to see what you can. Take care and keep looking!
Excellent vid and pics, excellent detail ! Saw the clear satellite over the Netherlands in the last few nights and was very jealous. Here in England I have not seen the comet and am not expecting clear skies till past the 20th. Absolutely gut wrenching to miss it.
@@StarScaperPhoto Yes, that is true. Missed the main event after midnight though. Anyways I can’t be too sad as I managed to experience the May 10th storm, that was incredible.
Great to see many people out there .. clouded out here in eastern Austria :(...... I can just make it out on your video :) ... thanks for sharing and thanks for the camera settings you used also .... S!
👏👏👏 excellent, Jeroen. Fantastic shots and really well told story of the night - you did so well to keep vlogging with all those 😱OTHER HUMANS😱! Loved it.
Thanks a lot as always Paul! Let me tell you it took more than a bit of guts to push myself and still try to continue filming 😱. They were all very relaxed about it fortunately haha. Even didn't mind me walking up the path every now and again for the occasional selfie retry 👌.
Nice vlog Jeroen. Also in Italy some persons in dark sites to take pictures to the comet. I saw it on sunday evening in the clouds and the tail was very large.
Great video, nice to see some spectators taking pictures of the comet too - not sure if they will be any better than your last superb selfie comet image!! I managed to see it too on Anglesey Monday night - the length of the tail surprised me and I had to do an image composite with the 100-400mm lens I was using!!
A historic selfie, great video Jeroen, I only managed to photograph the comet on Sunday, we have a lot of clouds and a lot of rain here in southern Europe, photographs of the comet maybe only for next week, until the next video
Glad you got to see it! 🙂 I had about the same conditions. Some haze, some clouds. I had at times 4 cameras doing timelapse so it will be nice to see how they turned out.😊
I think everyone has forgotten about that big fat blunt, Hale-Bopp. We could easily see it through the front windshield as we were driving back east from Richmond VA with city and highway lights all around us. And then a year or two earlier was Hyakutake and that was a gorgeous streaming narrow comet that was almost at the zenith. I was right in my back yard and just being amazed that I could witness such a natural spectacle. I never saw NEOWISE and I never saw Comet Halley back in '86. And I was really looking for both of them. I was 26 in '86 and I was stationed at Ft Leavenworth then. The terrain was almost absolutely flat and I never saw it at all. And I was looking hard for it.
Hale-Bopp I could see clearly with my eyes without a telescope it was so incredible. I was about 10 that year and saw it at my grandmother’s village in Ukraine, zero light pollution. I still remember it.
Went to see it tonight, from Berlin it was visible with the naked eye from the woods, with trees blocking the full moon behind, invisible when standing in moonlight unfortunately. Easily visible through binoculars the whole time though! Gorgeous.
nice, we had no luck and it will continue to be like that until at least sunday when it might be our last chance to spot it here in slovenian coast... constant cloudiness is killing us, man :(
I'm glad people are out looking, but their expectations should be realistic. The comet with your naked eyes, or with binoculars, is not the spectacular object you see in photographs. If you are at a dark sky site with clear skies, you probably will be able to see it unaided. It will still be faint and fuzzy. Most people won't be as fortunate. I live 25 miles west of Chicago (Bortle 8) and saw the comet from my neighborhood on Sunday, March 13. It was not visible to the naked eye. With binoculars, it was a faint fuzzy ball with a very faint tail. If I had not seen other comets in the past, I probably would not have noticed it.
I do agree! That's the beauty of making video I think. The video is often pretty close to what I see with the naked eye. Still a special sight to behold in my opinion if you are interested in astronomy! 👌
@@StarScaperPhoto Yes, your video is great, much closer to reality. I appreciate it. But I'm back to amend my observing report. This evening, October 15, from the same location (Bortle 8) I could just barely see the comet with my naked eyes (with glasses) at one hour and twenty minutes after sunset. I certainly would not have noticed it if I hadn't been looking for it, but there it was. The sky was darker than when I observed on October 13, and this time I brought my 15x63 binoculars, which showed the comet much better than my 7x35 pair on Sunday. A very pretty sight. I look forward to more observations in the coming days as the comet rises higher in the darker sky, even as it no doubt grows dimmer.
At first I was: "Oh, Jeroen is alone... thats a new one" and then it got more busy than usual :D I dont know how you were able to vlog, because I know it is hard! The image is fantastic and so is Martijn's timelapse :D
I saw it a couple days ago but it was definitely much fainter than I was expecting. “Comet of the century”? We still have a lot of century left. Now let’s get something like Hale-Bopp and I might be a little more excited. It was really cool seeing T-Atlas but it was something of a letdown.
Unfortunately I have not seen Hale-Bopp, but I think Neowise was still a bit more visible than Tsushinchan Atlas. I'm hoping it will be a bit more visible once the moon recides. We will see! And as you said, still really cool nevertheless!
Hello, this is a great video. It helped me (at 10.50) to take some photos of tsching-tschang-tschung-atlas :-) Videos are not available with 1 second exposure time... Greetings, eska33 :-)
I’m in a Bortle 5 area (15k south of Njmegen) and I got to photograph the comet yesterday evening. I couldn’t see it with the naked eye and I had trouble finding it. But the camera found it eventually and I got some great shots. Not as good as yours I must say and the tail wasn’t that impressive. But maybe each day is different. I’ll try the coming days if weather allows.
May I ask what setting you used for your photos of the comet? I used 6-8 seconds smallest aperture and ISO 400. Did you use a higher ISO and shorter exposure maybe?
@@BommeltjeNL settings are in the video also! In the end I stacked 30 shots of 5 seconds at f2.2 at iso 3200 and 50mm (cropped in to about 80mm). They were overexposed btw so should have set my iso lower.
I hope to take a few pictures this week if/when the skies are clear. Im curious about the other composition you had in mind. I struggle pretty hard with finding a good spot here in the Netherlands. Or at least with something interesting in the foreground. And from the technical viewpoint. Did you stack the photos with sequator? Of does that get rid of the comet? Nice work again!
Thanks Tim! I did stack it with sequator. I expected the comet to be all blurry, but somehow it managed just fine with 50mm and this small set of data. If I would have shot deeper or longer I may have had to use something like deep sky stacker who is able to take into account a comet.
Great video and love your shot, was that a stack for the comet? We've been clouded out here again but hoping tomorrow or Thursday evening to shoot it :)
Whats your recommended setting for this kind of timelapse, I'm going out tonight but I fear I'll miss out playing with settings. I have a Pentax K70 a 14mm Rokinon, 35mm, 50mm, 18-55mm and a 55-300mm
Well, basically nothing out of the ordinary. Look for a focal length on which you like your composition best, shoot wide open, expose so that the stars don't start trailing and adjust ISO accordingly. I'd start with the 50mm on the Pentax I think. Exposure time will probably be maxed out to about 3 seconds before stars start to trail. Have fun!
Hey, I'm afraid I can't exactly do it over in the same way haha. But my process was pretty much the same as I edit a milky way shot which I've made a video about already. I stack the shots in Sequator, the stretch the data and basically add some local microcontrasts (clarity, dehaze, etc.).
Has Not Been Comet Of The Century..Neowise Gave A Much Better..And Longer Show…Im In Pa..In A Bortle 3 Sky And Have Seen It Once..Literally On The Horizon…
Comet of the century? Not even close! Comet C/2006 P1 McNaught was the comet of the century so far, it’s just that you guys in the northern hemisphere didn’t get to see it. Just sayin’ 🙂
Not comet of the century, sry. This is on par with NEOWISE. They're nice but not super spectacular. Come of the century should be reserved for something like Hale-Bopp.
@@StarScaperPhoto Somehow I missed Neowise. But I saw Halley, my first comet to see and Halebopp and Hyakautake. They were all easy to see. Halebopp was real bright. I never could find Comet C/2023. It was in the west where city lights are.I looked 7 nights trying to see it.
Great vlog once again. Great picture of the comet. October has been great this year.
Glad to see you back without crutches, clear sky’s👌🏻
Thanks for watching as always Roy! October has been good indeed!
Great vdeo,thank you. Quite hilarious that all those people chose to stand together on the path.
Haha, that was a bit awkward, right? Much better though than standing in front of me I guess though! 😄.

Martijn did a great job here! I am not 100% sure, but I guess the interval in between would be very short, maybe only 1-2 seconds.
I tried Saturday night, but it was tiny on a 135mm, and was quickly obscured by clouds. Am planning on trying again after the full moon

You talked about stacking your photo's. Was that focus stacking? How did you make that work with longer exposure times?
It was stacking for noise reduction only in sequator, no focus stacking. Shots were 5 seconds only so there was hardly any star trailing.
What’s the gadget you fit the your hotshoe?
Haha, that's the transmitter of the remote control!
Great video and love your shot, was that a stack for the comet? We've been clouded out here again but hoping tomorrow or Thursday evening to shoot it :)
