Comment : This was the first astrophoto of this season. I didn't even had time to polar align or focus correct. Comet Leonard can be as bright as magnitude 4, when I took this photo the magnitude was maybe 5.5. I can very sad about where I live, Bortle class 9 ! We have just come home from Fuerteventura, Bortle class 3.
