Last night was the first opportunity to see it due to almost continuous night time cloud cover since I became aware of the Comet. Neowise is scheduled to peak it's presence about the 25th July.
Here is my first attempt to photograph it, about 2am BST 20 July 2020. Nikon D800, Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 wide open, 15 seconds, ISO 800.

If the weather permits I would like to try again, it would be nice to include a terrestrial subject as foreground but at lease I have managed one image of our visitor.
Edit: Since posting the image I notice the graduation of light around the comet is poor, I hope to post again with a decent graduation, I exported a JPEG from the TIFF output of Photoshop due to space considerations but perhaps it wasn't high enough quality?
