    We had the most beautiful clear sky last night, stars and planets were stunning. For the first time I can remember the milky way was also visible.
    Neowise was to the north and although visible looked superb through binoculars.
    It was at about 20/30 degrees elevation.

    Was all that visible to the naked eye or do you have a device of some sort?

    Edit. Just spotted the "binoculars". Sorry.

    Was there anything else at 20-30 degrees elevation?

    Nope.
    Several degrees droop perhaps.

    I was busy watching the match. Not a star in sight.
