Visibility I / V
The conditions were not ideal, but the Weather Report promised that it would clear up a bit for a couple of hours. The moment was right, because a raft of clouds from the northwest covered the sky around two o'clock. Otava and Pohjantähti (mag. approx. 2) somehow stood out, so I pointed the camera almost to the zenith half-blindly between Otava and Pohjantähti. Two frames were hit well enough by the comet and I combined them to improve the noise. After all, stars up to magnitude 9 stood out with the camera. Judging from the top 7-star group as a reference, the brightness of the comet is about as bright, if not even brighter.
