I’m at a friends tonight who’s got a pretty neat telescope that’s good enough to show Saturn’s rings so looking forward to that. He lives in the sticks so it’s darker than where I am. First saw Neowise on Saturday evening as up until then it had been annoyingly cloudy (always is when something like this happens). Managed to get a decent view of it even on my old 8 c 40 binoculars. Faded obviously last night so hoping get a last chance tonight to see on a decent scope. Still no Halle Bopp though but that’s me being greedy lol

Fingers crossed for you that you get clear skies, I got to see Saturn and all its glory during an astronomy tour on Tenerife, November last year.  I can still feel the goosebumps.  Good luck.

Last observed magnitude was 3.4.

Most likely going to be a binoculars only viewing for the foreseeable from tonight if you are in a heavily light polluted area.

V faint to the naked eye & binoculars here last night so tonight isn't going to be any better.
