Please find above a double exposure image, showing the Full Moon and Jupiter (and its moons) rising over the Basilica of Don Bosco, few kilometers from Turin (North West of Italy), on July 5, 2020. The long exposure used for the Earth landscape and Jupiter made it possible to display the Galilean moons at the sides of the giant planet (Callisto and Europa on the left and Io and Ganymede on the right).
During the photo session a display of Noctilucent clouds (pretty rare in Italy) was undergoing (see the second image).
Please find above an image of Comet NEOWISE that looked wonderful in the pre-dawn twilight colors as rising over the Basilica of Superga, sitting on a hill in the surroundings of Turin (North West of Italy).
Best regards

Moon - Jupiter conjunction
Photograph taken on 05.07.2020 at 21.12pm local time - Avellaneda - Buenos Aires - Argentina.
Double exposure, one for moon and one exposure for Jupiter
Jupiter and its moons, Ganimides, Io, Europa and Callisto can be seen
The photo was taken Saturday, July 4th, in Seattle at 9:30 pm (PDT). This year, due to COVID19, there was no fireworks display in Seattle, but the Buck Moon put quite a beautiful show, as you can see in the photo. The American flag on top of the Space Needle is placed there every year for the four of July. This is a single photo.
Today early dawn I observed the most wonderful NLC-s I've ever seen. The clouds started to form at the time comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) was rising on the Northeastern horizon. I have never experienced such a wonder: the phenomena of the clouds quickly overshadowed the Comet itself. These two photos present the two different appearances of the event: one with a wide-field lens and one with a telephoto lens.

Please find above a photo taken before dawn of July 9, 2020, showing the “close” encounter between comet Neowise and a majestic Cedar of Lebanon, sitting on a the Monfalletto Hill in the heart of The Langhe, the region in northwest Italy famous for its wines. Planted in 1856 by a married couple to commemorate their wedding and the love for that land, the tree is currently some 15 m in high and can be seen from many villages and cities of Langhe. This morning also the comet and the Cedar made up a great couple!
Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) from Kavala, Greece, just as it was rising above the city and dawn was beginning. Although bright moon high in the sky the bright nucleus and prominent the tail are visible with naked-eye.
