C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) over Dresden TV Tower

Sometimes you just get lucky, yesterday I took a quick look out from the balcony to check for the comet and it was just in the right spot for a photo. The days before the weather was hopeless, at least for a comet only 7° above the horizon. So, I was not sure if I can spot it at all yesterday, but it was easy to find with binoculars around 22:50. Later, shortly after 23:00 it was right above the Dresden TV tower, what a sight!

again noctilucent clouds over Dresden

Yesterday night the heaven over Dresden was again full with noctilucent clouds. This time it was earlier (around 22:45) and the clouds have been much brighter with more structure.
