I had to give Comet Leonard one last go last night, but as you can see it is now so low even before twilight is over, that it is getting close to being caught up in the power lines out the front of my place! I could only just pick it up in my 15 x 70 bino's. I put it at 8th mag at best. This photo was taken at 2022.01.27 09.25 U.T. a crop from a 135mm @ f/3.5 1 minute on ISO 6400. A nice, short, stubby dust tail with a stellar nucleus that I couldn't see in the bino's. This really is goodbye from me to a very Good Comet.
