Full cloud cover (and storms) here from late evening onwards until about 7am… but friends in Spain were luckier and they sent me a photo to prove it.
and another at 06.39 this morning… still in Spain

Seems that if you miss 13/14th July Super Moon… there’s the last one of the year on 11th August… so don’t be despondent…
The moon last night at 10:50. Taken with an Olympus DSLR with 75-300mm Zuiko zoom at 270mm. I wasn’t expecting it, but I saw a satellite pass over the moon at about 10:34. I didn’t manage any photos of the two together. Confirmed it was the ISS this morning using Stellarium.

look tonight and it should be even bigger… and there are some other bits and bobs passing by, which will need a telescope or similar if you’ve got 'em… tonight’s the night !!!
As long as there is an unexpected gap in the forecast overcast sky!

The FLO Clear Outside app seems to be correct, with 95% cloud cover until after 4:30, so I’ve had to make do with the village 13 July fireworks display offerings and the photos I took of the moon last night

A bit th thumbs up 
@anon37731102 for Stellarium and FLO clear outside. I use both. Stellarium in particular is stunningly useful. If you want to know what’s (or even was) in the sky at any point, you can’t do better. I use Ekos for mount and CCD control, and it comes with it’s own planetarium, Kstars, but it’s not a patch on Stellarium.
That is not C/2017 K2.
It might be a video of C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) which was visible to the naked eye in July 2020 Comet NEOWISE - Wikipedia?
A couple of recent real images of C/2017 K2
- C/2017 K2 (PanSTARRS) - Wikipedia and there is a timelapse video made up of multiple images.
- Comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs near Messier 10 ( Michael S. ) - AstroBin is a single image here made up of multiple images stacked (so equivalent to a 21 min exposure).
