On the 13.08.2020 of August, I went near the Comana forest (Romania) for Starparty with friends in the GAAP group .
I tried a new series of exposures to Comet Neowise. 
Placed as usual in the most difficult conditions :) SQML 19.8 for this target at 19 degrees altitude, above a locality lit by LED bulbs,
 I captured 53 exposures with my Canon 6D camera on an Ioptron CEM60 Encoder mount with no guideing. 
The comet was located in the constellation Virgo, and due to its low magnitude - 11,80, the comet is already in the territory dedicated to powerful and bright telescopes.
Other targets in the night of observations: M13, M27, Mars, Moon at sunrise.
I will return with processed exposures of these targets as well.
Clear sky!
