Details:
9th consecutive morning. Today the observation has been spectacular. The comet increasingly brighter, perfectly visible to the naked eye with its tail arched to the right until almost 7:00 a.m., without lateral vision, direct vision. The core was very bright and still stood out when twilight began. With the 20x80 binoculars the vision is incredible. Since Hale-Boop I had not had such a direct view of a comet with the naked eye with a perfectly defined tail. Based on my experience as a cometary observer and far from sensationalism, it has already surpassed the Neowise at least in direct vision without an optical instrument. In photography, perhaps the Neowise was more attractive due to the curvature of the tail, but for that we have the second "round" starting on October 12.
