Last evening, My brother Anthony & I were able tp Observe Comet Neowise for about 30 minutes before the clouds rolled in. the tail is getting longer with the tail bending right. The coma was easy to see in the haze. Because of the thick haze, we only were able to see it with our binoculars. We also saw the ISS & we watched Jupiter & Saturn rising. It was quite a night of viewing.

Tonight, My friends, Mike Dzubaty, Steve Borer and I observed Comet Neat in Steve's 8" dob, my 10X50 binoculars and Mikes 5" dob. The comet is still a very easy binocular object. In the two telescopes, the comet's head was still very bright. There was a very short fan tail going away from the comet. We also noticed the comet moving very slowly against the background of stars.
