Comet Neowise C/2020 F3

Getting up at 2h o'clock in the morning, loading the car and picking up my Helios collegue Walter. It's still cloudy and we find a spot with a perfect view towards the north-eastern horizon. Around 3h15m the clouds dissapear and the comet Neowise C/2020 F3 is shining above the horizon. The comet with tail is visible with the naked eye and magnitude 1.

Pictures are taken with Nikon D7500 and Nikkor GIIED lens 18-200mm.

Noctilucent Clouds July 5, 2020

Around 23h local time (UT21h) the sky was filled with noctilucent clouds (NLC). At some point the clouds were seen 40° above the horizon. 

This cloud group was seen in Poland, north of the UK, Belgium (Antwerp, Gent, Mechelen) and even in Hungary (Budapest).

I was able to make a lot of pictures and saw the structure changing over time. 

Bright NLC

Currently very bright NLC above #Averbode. The NLC reach about 40' above the horizon.
