This is a compilation of timelapse clips that I was lucky enough to record of the awesome Comet Neowise ... the first few are early am as it was rising and the last few are the second eve that I saw it setting.

highlights:
0- Neowise rising over Elmwood Marina, Greilickville(near Traverse City) lit by the moon!
1:12 Neowise rising over DH Day Farm barns surrounded by the Sleeping Bear Dune National Lakeshore(SBDNL) ... also lit by the moon
1:41 ISS-International Space Station flies over the DH Day Farm barns
1:52 Neowise setting over SBDNL - looking NNW over South Manitou Island
2:12 Neowise setting as the Northern Lights begin!
... at this point I could not see the Aurora with my unaided eyes and so
did not know to keep the lapse going : ( I was getting eaten by
mosquitos and flies and it appears in hindsight that it affected my
judgement : \
2:28 Comet Neowise, Northern Lights and a rogue Iridium Flare?!
(what is an Iridium Flare?:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare#Iridium_flares
2:46 International Space Station flyby
2:53 Lake Michigan Freighter navigating the Manitou Passage under
Neowise and the Aurora ... oh to be on board that night!

If you haven't seen it folks, get out there, it's fantastic to see ... esp during these trying times ... it give a little perspective to planetary living ...
Look to the NW about an hour after sunset, under the Big Dipper ... enjoy ...
