Well managed a sketch with and without comet filter 20 mins apart last
night, could see movement over that period. Still fairly high although not
overhead so a bit easier to track but still struggled, too difficult to
sketch up the ladder so was done from memory with keep running up and down
the ladder! Trouble was that 21% moon not too far away taking contrast away
and the skies were hazy and illuminated by said moon.

There was more detail than I could sketch under the conditions and I lost
detail with the comet filter. Very bright stellar core, with largish coma
around it. Looked to be some small dark patches around the core.

Later on when the skies had vastly improved (end of astro dark and 21.60 SQM
meter reading) the view improved and again I think the comet filter was
showing a very slight hint of a 2nd tail but I was beyond another sketch by
this time.
