Still see the "Attach file" option.

This is another single frame capture from July 27.

Combination of hazy sky and past-prime-viewing make this a fuzzy smudge.

This image, taken with the 20x80 Konus Binoculars and a phone mount holding the Pixel 3 shows the tail as much less distinct than the previous week.

Not seeing a place to add an image as part of a reply.

Posting here as a much to test the forum setup as much as to share info.

Comet NeoWise observed from Redmond Road in Williston using a pair of Konus 20x80 Binoculars. Imaged with a Google Pixel 3 smartphone.

Definitely quick and dirty as a single frame hand held grab. I'm sure other club members did much better. Please feel free to extend this thread with your viewing records and images.                    -- Scott Turnbull posting as Website Admin
