They looked great as I walked down our lane at about 5pm. You could try getting your binocs/scope on them. You should just see the Galilean moons and Saturn's rings.

"The comet is a real ‘tree scraper’ and will remain so until we lose it from view after mid-month.
The best views of the comet are still to be had in the hours before dawn, when it is high in the sky for several hours before sunrise."

Far too many clouds around to be spotted in my area.

Not seen much naked eye objects around here lately (only really good day was 10 Dec). There's supposed to be a high pressure coming soon, giving much more atmospheric stability, but probably most likely to be an anticyclonic gloom type. Still worth keeping a close check for any window of clear skies, say in lee of mountains or in any Pm airmasses.

Walked down the lane just now and the western sky was dominated by Jupiter, Saturn and Venus and the last shreds of a sunset. Stunning. Roger.

COMET LEONARD OUTBURST: Comet Leonard (C/2021 A1) surprised astronomers yesterday when it suddenly brightened 10-fold. The surge might signal a fragmentation event in the comet's core. Leonard is once again visible to the naked eye in the sunset sky near Venus.

I walk west down our lane every evening on my way to lock up the local church. When the sky has been clear I have been able to watch a splendid display of planets: Saturn, Jupiter and Venus - now fading out of sight into the sunset glow as a crescent. The crescent Moon has joined the this evening for a very dramatic show. One can't make out Mercury with the naked eye, or Neptune or Uranus.

Little piece here by Pete Lawrence. It's not too late to catch some of them.
