NEOWISE C/2020 F3 comet

July 19th and July 2th while the observatory was observing Be star spectra in automated mode, Rachel and I went on top of the near by hill to watch NEOWISE C/2020 F3 comet. It was beautiful with the 60mm refractor but also in picture...

Comet above 'Chartreuse' and more specially 'Chamechaude' peak
