Comet C/2020 V2

[andrew63]

A second Boxing  Day comet! After a very brief pre-dawn view of C/2022 E3 this morning, I decided to try C/2020 V2 well placed near Polaris.  It proved to be more challenging, being several magnitudes fainter. I eventually started to view a faint nebulous glow, much smaller than E3 in clear, but not very transparent skies. I came back to the area a few times, just to confirm it. This was in the 4" refractor, but needed more magnification to see it -  x40 with a 12.5 Ortho. Im not sure if this comet is going to improve much, but it's well placed and worth a look ☄️
