Comet C/2021 A1 Leonard (view on black)

Comet C/2021 A1 Leonard (view on black)
Left picture: single exposure with f=70 mm f/2,8, T=30 sec and ISO 1600. Used a tracker. It shows the whole field. The constellation Serpent is indicated. The area of the picture on the right is outlined. In its centre you can find the comet with its typical greenish colour.

Right picture: a combination of 9 exposures, each t=30 sec, so in total 4,5 minutes exposure. This is a cropped f=70 mm field.. It clearly shows the tail of this comet.

The comming days, weather permitting, Leonard is "visible" in the evenening just after sunset. It is below and somewhat to the left of Venus, it is near the horizon and certainly not visible by the unaided eye. With a setting like for the picture I show here you might find this comet

cammino, tiabunna, Nouchetdu38, Pics-UM and 5 other people have particularly liked this photo

Thank you for this, Ko. I'm hoping that, if we have a clear evening, we might now be able to see it from down here.

Here it does not look good. The weather has not been very favourable and the forecasts are not good. So I will probably not get a second chance. Glad that I got at least one good night. Wish you all the best for the comming time and for Christmas
