COMET LEONARD AND M3

            Comet Leonard is going to be the brightest comet in 2021. Now it's getting brighter and in half of December, it should reach 4th magnitude. On Friday 3rd of December, the comet was passing the globular cluster M3 in Bootes. Recently it was also one of a few days when it should be clear, so I had to use the opportunity. With my friends, we were going to the edge of Czech Paradise. Already the view through the tried uncovered two small, similarly bright, objects. After that, we set up also the bigger telescopes. Specifically, this pic was taken through an 11-inch telescope Celestron with Hyperstar adapter. It's only one single 15-second exposure. I tried to do also a stack, but DSS had problems with that so I have to be happy with this single-shot for now. Nevertheless, it's my best image of a comet yet (second in all) and absolutely best deep-sky image. Hopefully, it will be clear again in the next days to see the comet even brighter. Because on the 12th of December, it will be the last chance to see it from Czechia.
