Details:
Comet C/2020 F8 (Swan) has faded slightly, from magnitude 4.9 on the morning of May 2nd to magnitude 5.1 on May 3rd (based on my personal estimates); funny, though, 5˚ of tail was seen (with keen averted vision) as opposed to 1˚ yesterday. Photographically, at least on my exposures, the tail stretches to 7", though probably longer.
