Details:
Actually, that didn't work. Comet C/2020 Y4 SWAN was only 4° above the horizon on Sunday morning at 5:36h UTC in the Canary Islands (this comet is for Australia and the southern part of Africa). The still almost full moon reduced the contrast strongly. But thanks to the clear air at 1180 m above sea level, I was able to take 12 subframes of 2o sec each with a very bright astrograph (Rowe-Ackermann F2.0) before dawn, and although you can't see any of the great details of the tail, together with the landscape it became a very atmospheric picture.
