    Here is my attempt at imaging Leonard (C/2021 A1) this morning after it's close encounter with globular cluster M3. It looks great in a pair of 10x50 binoculars! Imaged with RedCat 51L, ZWOASI533 mc Pro.

    Keep in mind, though: all of Antarctica still sees a partial eclipse tomorrow, as does the Falkland Islands, South Africa and Tasmania and SE Australia. These are actually very photogenic sunrise/sunset events:
