In my last post I wrote about how I tried to take photos of C2020/F3 (NEOWISE), but didn’t manage to. So I decided to give it another try the next day.

If you follow my blog posts regularly then you know by now that I am doing astrophotography from time to time. Especially if there are noteworthy events that can be easily spotted. As you surely have heard by now currently the comet C2020/F3 (NEOWISE) is visible in the night sky and as you probably also heard it is only visible in the early early morning hours.

Note: This article has been translated mostly using Google Translate and manually been proofread afterwards. Still it is possible that mistakes might have slipped through.

Currently SpaceX is building up their network of telecommuncations satellites with the ultimate goal of providing cheap satellite internet globally. As they need to achieve global coverage they have to launch their satellites into different orbits, which means that not every launch will be visible from Europe.

A couple of days ago I was made aware by a work colleague that there will be a nice lineup of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon this week. Small problem: The lineup is visible at around 4am in the morning and only for about an hour or two. At first I did not want to take photos, because I really don’t like waking up that early, but after some thinking I decided to go for it anyway. After all this is exactly the kind of crazy stuff I love to do, also it was a nice chance to have a reason…

After I got the most important things done for my blog I can finally start with the things I want to do: writing posts.
