Details:
Comet C/2020 F8 (Swan) continues to hang on in brightness. This morning (May 10) it shone at magnitude 5.7 (my estimate through 8 x 42 binoculars) with a 1˚ tail, as shown in this 200-mm (EFL 320-mm) shot. It did not appear as dusty as it did yesterday morning. This shot shows the comet in waning gibbous moonlight, mid-astronomical twilight, and the zodiacal light. Still a nice binocular comet.
