A lot of detail Nick. I have had a visual on it these last two nights but only through binoculars, couldn't get a telescope on it. It's also faded below N/E visibility for me.

I've managed to get around an hour so far on C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) this evening. I have kept with 10s exposures even though the comet is a lot fainter than when I last imaged it on July 22. My animation is here:

This consists of stacks of 20x10s (approx 320s total span including the camera dead time) processed using an r=2, theta=10 deg Larson-Sekanina filter. It shows the anti-clockwise rotation of the spiralling dust quite nicely and complex flows in the tail.
