Between my first sighting of C/2020 F3 on the 13th of July to my second sighting on the 16th was a period of unusable cloud cover.

In hindsight, this may have been a nice long-exposure NightCap image.

A comet and two planets, not too bad for one night.

You can also see sloping towards the right some of the brighter stars in the constellation Sagittarius.
