Description
The Comet NEOWISE or C/2020 F3 streaks across the pre-dawn sky above Mount Hood as seen from Trillium Lake in the Mount Hood National Forest. In the summer of 2020, NEOWISE treated skywatchers in the northern hemisphere to the brightest comet to be seen since Comet Hale–Bopp in 1997. For about a week, the comet was bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye, even in heavily light polluted areas such as Portland, Oregon. A perfectly still and clear night allowed me to get a perfect reflection of the comet, night sky, and mountain in the lake.
