Details:
I was outside that early morning to observe C/2020 F3 Neowise. But on the North-Eastern horizon occured something I had never seen (but already heard about !): an outburst of noctilucent clouds (NLC). It was an amazing sighting even if comet Neowise was somewhat lost in this electric-blue light.
Neowise can be seen on the left between 2 stripes of NLC. The bright dot on the right side of the picture is Venus.
Venus is about 31 arc-degrees away from the comet.
