I have Canon sx60hs. It doesn't have detachable lens.
I am in completely urban environment. Because of weather, ambient light
and buildings in between, I was not able to see the comet yet.
Planning to make a trip litter further where there should be little more
dark and hopefully better weather.
Thanks,
Niranjan

Agreed with the manual exposure. If you tell us what lenses you have
and what your observation location is like (city, rural, middle of
nowhere etc) I can suggest some settings.

Hi Terry,
Thank you. Looks like I need to do some more RTFM and tinker with the
dials. So far my range was aperture and shutter priority. I know
camera has manual settings, but not advanced enough and/or never
tried it.
Regards,
Niranjan

Hi Niranjan,
I would suggest not using aperture priority. Instead use
manual exposure. I would suggest a lens wide open to get as much
light as possible. Probably about 20 second exposure to avoid
movement of the comet but still getting lots of light into the
camera. Then experiment with ISO. Probably starting at 3200
Aperture priority will get confused with the dark sky and would
likely overexpose the comet.
Sadly I am in Australia and can not see this comet. Maybe in another
life in 6800 years.
cheers

Greetings,
Firstly - this has nothing to do with darktable. My apologies
for being
off topic. From my point of view, there are lot of experts here
who can
help to improve photo quality. If you think it's inappropriate,
please
feel free to delete.
Comet NEOWISE is going to be visible for next few days. I have been
seeing some stunning photos, some of them on mobile phones. I'm
that
person who is often wrong in camera settings and trying to learn
from
internet resources. I don't have fancy camera or lenses, but my
hopes
were raised after seeing mobile photos from Samsung devices. I
should
also mention, after spending a year just to be safe, I have finally
stopped shooting jpeg+raw to just raw as photos seem to be more
recognizable these days and my knowledge of darkatable and post
processing is increasing.
Are there any tips experts willing to share for taking picture
of comet.
I have a tripod and and assumption that weather will cooperate.
I know
about and aperture and shutter priority modes, but do often get
confused
which one to use. As most of the videos and sites say, I'll be
using
aperture priority.
Thanks in advance.
Niranjan
