About this image

A wide angle view of comet NEOWISE over the wonder that is Barry Island ;-) and the Wenvoe transmitter behind, The tail extended out of the field of my 10*50 binoculars (about 5 degrees). The total length of the tail is probably about the same as between Beta Aur and Capella (about 7 degrees). The tail was easily visible naked eye by this time (after midnight BST) despite the low light pollution.
