Time: 4:00 am - Sunrise

Targets:  Comet NEOWISE, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and the Moon

Went out a bit too late that the sun not far from rising above the horizon, did not have a lot of nice and dark observing time. Comet Neowise was very faint(was not able to see it with the naked eye myself, but John was still able to barely see it naked eye). Saw it through the scope and it had a long tail and a clear nucleus. Very cool view. Venus and the moon were both crescent. Jupiter near opposition, shaky view since it was a bit low and sunrise was coming. Wanted to search and take a glimpse at Uranus but failed since no stars were left visible with the bright sky.
