Details:
Another great morning of viewing Neowise with a return of uber-clear skies. The comet's tail was noticeably longer and brighter than at any time I've been viewing, while the coma was unchanged. Super easy naked eye object.
As hoped, the comet should retain enough brightness for some evening viewing in the next few days.
Note to aid viewing: In the third image, I included (for scale and location) Capella and Menkalinan, the two brightest stars above and to the right. Based on the comparison to Menkalinan, Neowise is still at least a +2 magnitude.
