I had to fight the approaching clouds to catch this image of Comet C/2019 U6 (Lemmon) before it disappeared again. Visible left-of-center, Comet Lemmon has a distinct minty-green color with a thin white tail behind it. It was easily seen and photographed with different lenses and cameras that I had with me at the time. No special efforts or equipment are needed. Orange star "Alphard" (Alpha Hydrae) appears to be glowing behind the thin clouds and is the brightest star in the constellation of Hydra.

Canon EOS Ra + RF 85mm f/1.2L USM lens
