Hello all,
This is my first comet observation and sketch. After waiting some days for a good weather without clouds, finally i got the comet to see. It looked like a blurry smooth ball, comparable in magnitude with the stars forming the “V” in the sketch, which have an average apparent magnitude of ±5.7 and even the sun was rising, I had an impression that the comet was showing a tail.
Im just starting a blog with my observations.

Luis,
Good looking capture of the comet among the stars.
