Not only an ISS pass, but also the comet last night - somewhat rushed in setting up so the image isn't great, but my first ever comet sighting so chuffed!! Will try for a better image tonight. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/07/21/DSC03684.jpg)

Nice picture, thanks for posting it. My daughter and I stayed up late 17/18 Fr/Sat, as this was supposed to be best time for spotting. Indeed we sighted Neowise from a window in the attic on the NW. Unfortunately, there were some high level clouds, so our sighting was not as clear as yours. Nevertheless we spotted it!

It’s a little higher in the Sky after sunset over the next night or two, A bit closer to earth, but beginning to fade - so still chances to see it before it heads away for the next few thousand years!!

Very nice pic KennethM.
I’ve been watching it almost every night it’s been visible. It’s slowly fading.
Just think what humans were doing the last time it was here 6800 years ago and what will be the next time.

We were out the night before last looking at the sky and watched a satellite and a meteorite but did not know about the comet. I was a beautiful clear night and if we had looked to the north we probably would have seen it. Last night it was obscured by a cloud  and it probably be cloudy tonight too 😢

Anyone still looking this may help you locate it this is with a 18-55mm standard kit lense from my back garden last night around 23:12 note it's position in relation to URSA MAJOR, it will move a bit each subsequent day, you ideally need to acclimatise your eyes, a pair of say 10x50 bino's will help you see it easier. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.milligoon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/IMG_9280-scaled-e1595430102800.jpg)
