It's a bit pathetic but this is my first image of Comet C/2020 F8 (SWAN) from Chelmsford (Latitude 51.7 deg). This was taken this morning (May 15) using a Canon EOS550D + 200mm, f/2.8L lens very low in the bright twilight. As least it shows that the comet is visible from here. A lovely morning with Saturn and Jupiter close together in the south and the Moon and Mars rising together in the SE.

Naked eye
Nice image Nick,
Guessing it wasn't visible naked eye?

Not even in binoculars
Martin, I couldn't see it in bins either. The sky was just to bright. I only found it when I got home and looked at the images.
