C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) : 2020 June 11.325 UT. Possibly my last observation with the comet 20 degrees from the sun and weather preventing further observations. Betelgeuse is the bright star just above the tree tops, the comet is in the upper left. Extracting the green channel I was able to perform large aperture photometry, with the coma coming in at around mag 6.8. This image was acquired using 25 frames of 2 seconds each using a 150mm f2.8 lens and Olympus OMD EM1mk2 from Q80 (Birkdale, QLD, Australia).
