Roger, the overall sequence is probably just 3 to 5 minutes.
Tom, I wanted to continue the sequence, but laptop battery powered off.

Great work Steve. Betcha your second best girlfriend would be happy to include it in her broadcast.
While NEOWISE is a fast mover at 10'/hour it took me a minute to figure out that the camera's not tracking and the whole star field's moving. Still, that 's a lot of movement in 5 or 6 minutes.
