Neowise was perhaps one of the few comets that appeared in the right place at the right time: visible fairly clearly from where I was living, and at a time when technology had advanced sufficiently to capture its feathery elegance with my camera. My previous comet sighting was the Hale-Bopp in 1995, which while bright, was not amenable to capturing with a digital camera.
So when this two week window opened up to see this stranger from a strange land, I didn't say no to it.
Here is one such visual of Neowise from Edmonds Harbor, with its NW-facing shoreline providing the perfect viewpoint to shoot the comet framed by the distant peaks of the Olympic range.
