Our village is on the edge of the airstrip and hence it is very light polluted. The yellow clouds above the Monastary are caused by the light pollution around.

Often stated in popular culture as "Harbingers of doom" or "Bad Omen", the comets are actually solar system bodies and may have many clues to how variety of molecules (even organic) are planted on a planet upon impact. These are the remainders of material formed in the coldest part of our solar system and have played major role in the evolution of the Earth. I am presenting you this very special capture as the NEOWISE will probably make apparition in 6800 Years. This capture is taken from Bortle 6 magnitude sky of Gondia and is processed minimally to bring the clarity of the object without losing the realism.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </p> <p> </p> </td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Joint 2nd Prize</strong></p> <div id="attachment_31912" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2020/Neowise2020/ContestWinners/02_2_41.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31912" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-31912" src="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2020/Neowise2020/ContestWinners/02_2_41-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="267" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-31912" class="wp-caption-text">Neowise Enticing Panchachuli - Karthik Jayashankar</p></div> <p>Date : 13/07/20<br /> Image Location : Jilling Estate, Uttarakhand<br /> Camera etc : Nikon D5100 [ISO: 3200, Shutter: 4 Secs, f/4.5, FL 78mm.

On the morning of 13 July 2020, I woke up again at around 3:45am, and surprisingly, I didn’t hear the sound of rain on the tin roof of our home, which is situated at a height of around 6300 feet above MSL. I went out rushing to try and spot the Comet and was delighted to see and photograph it that day! The Comet C/2020 F3 (Neowise) is seen here dancing above the Panchachuli Mountain Range of the Kumaon Himalayas. The lights in the foreground are from Mukteshwar and to the extreme right of the image after the last set of lights on the right is the Dhanachuli area, where the Devasthal Optical Telescope (DOT) is located, which is the largest reflecting telescope in Asia.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </p> <p> </p> </td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Joint 3rd Prize</strong></p> <div id="attachment_31919" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2020/Neowise2020/ContestWinners/03_1_21.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31919" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-31919" src="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2020/Neowise2020/ContestWinners/03_1_21-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-31919" class="wp-caption-text">Harbinger of Life - Sathya Narayana Sridhar</p></div> <p>Date : 21/07/2020<br /> Image Location : Chennai, Tamil Nadu<br /> Camera : Canon EOS 80D</p> </td> <td></td> <td><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sathya_narayanan_sridhar/"><strong>Sathya Narayana Sridhar</strong></a></p> <p><em>“Comet cometh down from thee heaven shalt bringeth thou jauntiness!”<br /> </em><br /> I dreamt of a nightscape with the comet NEOWISE since I first observed it. The sky was quite clear on the evening of 21st July. With the ongoing curfew due to Corona Virus pandemic, I could not move out of the city to find a better place away from light pollution. I made an attempt to find a clear open sky near my house, surprisingly I found a place with trees towards the North-West where the comet was about to rise, just 5 minutes from my home. I carried my gears to the place, settled down there, waiting for the comet to rise. Though the comet was too faint to the naked eye, I could observe the tail through my pair of binoculars. I wanted the comet to be framed between the trees. I made a few trials, set the frame, programmed the timer, and the camera took care of the rest. Meanwhile, I enjoyed the comet in the twilight with fireflies flying around in the nearby bushes. It was just magical!</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </p> <p> </p> </td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Joint 3rd Prize</strong></p> <div id="attachment_31918" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2020/Neowise2020/ContestWinners/03_2_36.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31918" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-31918" src="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2020/Neowise2020/ContestWinners/03_2_36-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="267" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-31918" class="wp-caption-text">The Lonely Wanderer - Rohith K A</p></div> <p>Date : 21/07/2020<br /> Image Location : Payyanur, Kerala.<br /> Camera : Nikon D5600<u></u></p> </td> <td></td> <td><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rohith.ka/"><strong>Rohith K A</strong></a></p> <p><u>The Lonely Wanderer</u></p> <p>We've a visitor!<br /> A lonely wanderer..<br /> A 5km wide piece of dust and rock,<br /> Immersed in ice!<br /> A ‘dirty ice ball’?!<br /> No!

As I was watching the comet from Hanle Dark Sky Sanctuary, I so wish I had tagged along my kids here too @ 270kms away. The other specialty is the long distance shot from around 2km to get a the perfect shot and good perspective of the existence of Indian Astronomical Observatory and the Comet in the same frame.</p> <p>The previous night on 22<sup>nd</sup> July, I had captured the Comet Neowise from my village, and it was not so impressive visually due to the light-polluted surrounding, where my two kids got disappointed. I had to start for IAO Hanle on 23rd July for some official work. The 23rd night was supposed to be closest approach to earth, and the moon was also already getting brighter. So I had a very tiny window of getting a once in a lifetime longer focal length shot of the comet over IAO.</p> <p>During the 7 hours drive, I was hoping that this comet won’t disintegrate the Comet SWAN way. I started planning for long focal length shoot above the observatory and there was no time for rehearsals too. We reached the Observatory around 5pm and after some rest at around 7.00pm I started towards Khaldo(2kms away) village and soon the comet started getting visible. It was a fantastic sight to behold when it was visible to the unaided eyes. I called upon my other colleague in gazing and capturing the most photogenic comet in the northern hemisphere after Hale-Bopp in 1997. The dark skies of Hanle aided for the most beautiful sighting for us. In the end I was quite content to get the 6800 year visitor over the Observatory.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </p> <p> </p> </td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Special Mention by Judges<br /> </strong></p> <div id="attachment_31917" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2020/Neowise2020/ContestWinners/HM2_10.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31917" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-31917" src="http://astron-soc.in/outreach/wp-content/uploads/2020/Neowise2020/ContestWinners/HM2_10-206x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="583" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-31917" class="wp-caption-text">My Window of Comet NEOWISE - Nikunj M Rawal</p></div> <p> </p> </td> <td></td> <td><strong>Nikunj M Rawal</strong></p> <p>Let's welcome our Celestial Guest for its approach to Earth which has arrived far from Oort's Clouds.
