First news; despite hazy skies, I did see the comet, though the conditions weren't great either time. I saw it once as what seemed like a little cloud with just my own two eyes, and then a better view with binoculars.
But the pictures of it are stunning. Either with clear dark skies, or the magic of time-exposure photography, Comet NEOWISE is really putting on a great and rare astronomical show. And I am glad there are lots of observers and lots of ways to observe it in this modern era.
