Supernova SN2020jfo in M61 with COAST telescope after 51days

How is it with Supernova SN2020jfo in galaxy M61? I took some pictures of this supernova earlier this year in May. To compare I made some pictures again on July 11 using the COAST telescope in Tenerife. And yes, the supernova is still visible after 51 days as can be seen on the picture below. 
The picture was edited using ASIfitsview, photoshop CS4 and DeNoise AI.

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.
