96p 20221203 tprystavski

Comet located very low in the local sky (~16 deg). Moon was setting (phase 0.75) as I started to image the comet in the evening twilight. I couldn't detect coma and 96P/Machholz looks as an asteroidal object with no activity.
I found the comet exactly where MPC generated ephemerides predicted.
