Comet Neowise C/2020 F3 with Blue Filter

A clear sky was not predicted so I was surprised to a clear sky around 23h00 local time. The comet could be seen with the naked eye but very faint. Less bright then 4 days ago. I had also the impression the tail is getting wider. 


Beside my Nikkor lens 18-200 I used this time my TLAPO 80/480 F6. I experimented using a blue filter to capture the gastail. Not sure if I succeeded but the picture shows a diffuse barrier left from the dusttail.
