I’m in the fortunate position of being an airline pilot and at 41000ft today over the mid Atlantic, this comet was almost blinding. It’s absolutely stunning and something everyone should try to get out and see. Great video!

I a a retired Flt Attendant (AA Airlines, BOG based), and was also very fortunate in having seen several awesome events from up there, like launch of space shuttle right in front of cockpit going north into MIA airport from S.America, the ISS above us going in the very same direction as our flight (lasting nearly 15 minutes), another rocket launch at 4 a.m. I miss a lot ended!

Feeling the excitement, I was the same this morning when I went out and saw it with my naked eye. And on top of that, I got NLCs just under the comet, which is super rare on such a low latitude as Italy. In one day I got to see a comet and NLCs for the first time. Super happy, thank you so much Alyn for inspiring me to get up so early and go out, super worth it. If I could subscribe 2 or 3 times I would!

Agree with Alyn. The astronomical community expect it to fade rapidly after the 15th July. The higher it is the further and faster it's racing away from the heat and reflectivity of the sun. Take advantage of any clear skies you can or else you could regret it. Good luck!

I got to thank you on this one. I was just going to watch you photograph a comet which I really didn't know what to expect or had big expectations, but watching you all happy made me want to go to the balcony and try to find it. And it was great!! The only problem is that North of where I am there is Lisbon (Portugal) which produces A LOT of light pollution and it definitely is not visible at the naked eye (and very close to the horizon). Even so, I was able to find it and somehow I felt joy xD. Now, I will for sure look for a spot beyond Lisbon where I can find a darker sky and see if I can get some better shot! Well done and keep it up!

So many of us had the same experience you did this morning. My equipment is highly computerized and I had to wake up hit on and wait for the mount to slew. I picked up a small pair of opera glasses to locate some guide stars (extreme light pollution at my location) and the comet practically slapped me in the face. So bright! with a stunning twin tail appearance. My images show a ruddy brown and gold color around the bright nucleus but this may have been due to a nearby forest fire.

I’ve been following you some time and want to say I greatly admire you. I like your enthusiasm and your ethics. The quote is marvelous, the sky is bringing together people and this comet is a gift. Amazing to think the ancient thought they were signs of bad omen. There was a comet in the sky when my first son was born and I used to watch it every night before turning in. This is less bright but three days ago I spotted it with binoculars and I was over the moon, just like you said. Looking forward to more of your inspirational videos. Clear skies.

Yes!! Hale-Bopp was about as perfect as you can get... the quintessential comet horizontal in the sky for what seemed ages... I remember all the hype around Halley’s comet but it was a dud then Hale-Bopp completely made up for it. What I think is very cool about this one ( Neowise) is that it’s a twin-tailed comet... and also all the effort to see it makes it even more special. 💜

I know it is a bone of contention and I was not going to bother with the ISS but seeing the shot it was? .. OMG WTF is that behind it? Then I remembered a couple of days before the capsule launch to dock with the ISS. So yes, that feeling when you know you have not just witnessed something amazing but to catch it as well.. Priceless.
