I really haven’t been doing much detecting for the past several weeks - the weather in NW Ohio has been ridiculously hot and dry, making the ground like concrete even if you wanted to brave the heat.
The bright side of no rain is no clouds! So instead of detecting, I’ve been occupying my time with one of my previous hobbies, astronomy. Comet Neowise is currently putting on a nice show, so I blew the dust off of my “ancient” DSLR to take a few pictures! The shots below were taken facing northeast about an hour before sunrise on July 13, and exposed for about 3 to 4 seconds each.
Anyway, the comet has moved into the evening sky now, and should be easily visible if you have a clear view of your northwestern horizon about an hour after sunset. It’s even more impressive if you have access to some decent binoculars.
I highly recommend checking it out - it’s the brightest comet visible from the northern hemisphere in over 20 years!
