    Nice picture, could you see it without binos? Never could in Hanham, it was always apparently in the sky above Kingswood High Street.

    Hi Ian. Yes could see it without bins but it wasn’t very bright.  I had to hide from the toilet block lights. Averted vision revealed more of the tail.

    Hi Eddie. Yes not too many large towns in Cornwall and I have to say your astronomical knowledge is astronomical.  Anniversaries can be very interesting.

    Nice pic Dave.

    I’ve just picked Neowise up again with 11×70 binoculars in a break in the clouds.

    Fading and I could not see it with the naked eye but still a very nice binocular comet.

    Hopefully we won’t have to wait another 20+ years for the next one that is as good !

    Cheers,

    John
