Sketch of comet C/2021 A1 Leonard on Dec 4th/5th at 03.00 UT as seen through the 10" F/5 reflector with 26mm 2" eyepiece, FOV 62 arc min's. Please excuse the crude sketch, it's been a very long time since I've done this, the intensity of the tail has been exaggerated to make it show on paper, the tail was also more narrow near the coma, within the tail were numerous streamers. This is a hand held DSLR image of the sheet of paper which goes into my log book so it's not great, however I thought I would post it anyway.
