C/2021 A1 Leonard
By Samuel Leite Guimarães
C/2021 A1 Leonard over southeastern brazilian skies right at Christmas night. It was a mini saga to capture this. I tried to take some pictures a couple days before Christmas at Campinas-SP, but the sky was too bright with tons of light pollution and the comet revealed just its bright green core. How lucky I was because I had to travel to Alfenas-MG for Christmas celebration. It is a very small city in the interior of Minas Gerais state, where the light pollution was little and the beautiful tail of the comet was very visible. Truly a Santa gift!
