Details:
After missing yesterday morning because of clouds, today (July 7) is my 4th day of observing and photographing Comet NEOWISE. In spite of the thin haze along the horizon, the comet shown though and displayed a dust tail stretching 3 degrees (in 7x40 binoculars).
Today was the first day that I can truly say that the comet was visible to the naked eye 100% of the time even though the sky and landscape were illuminated by a bright, nearly full Moon.
This morning I drove to a neighbor's ranch to image the comet with a windmill in the foreground.
Nikon D7200, 70-300 zoom, 2 seconds, f/5.6, ISO 6400 (stack of 10 exposures).
