Early this morning around 3:30am I went outside and photographed C/2021 A1 (Leonard) from my driveway. I also looked at it through binoculars. Very faint fuzzy. Since I don’t have a tracking mount for my camera yet, I had to boost the ISO (ISO2000 @ 8 seconds, f/1.4 16mm) to get any appreciative detail of the comet. Left photo is the full size, and right photo is cropped to see the comet more easily, upper left hand corner, 11 o’clock position. Skies were mostly clear, very cold around 14F, no wind, very little snow on the ground, but did have some ice on the driveway so I did not venture too far from the house.
