Hi Greg,
I just checked your Comet Chasing web page. It looks like I might have been too optimistic about the visibility of this comet. ST4v thinks it will reach 3.5 magnitude in a few days. Guess we'll see.
Some of the iTelescope folks have been getting images of it. It would be cool to capture an image as it passes M3.
I hope the weather holds up for everyone.

José Chambó's website has a great writeup about the discovery of C/2021 A1 (Leonard) here: Comets visible in November 2021 - Cometography (cometografia.es)
José has taken over for Gary W. Kronk's Cometography website. It looks like a great source of comet information.
