Thank you.

Thank you for explaining this so well. I am in Colorado, so the mountains will get in the way.

Me: can't wait to see it Clouds: oh, you'll wait alright.

Somehow I doubt that any attempt to observe it where I live will be successful. I live in an area where we are surrounded by mountains and the view of the horizon is obscured. Venus around sunset time is behind a small hill on the western side so I doubt that it would be visible. I will give it a try though just out of curiosity. 😃 comet neowise was a great spectacle last year and I really enjoyed watching it with naked eyes.

Can you please do a video about flood ghost town

"Back when $1000 digital cameras had floppy disc drives" ... LOL!!

Majestic loopy loops . It is amazing like our busy traffic in New York City- a wonder we are here. The universe is intelligent mind; law and order, life and love1

Im honna try to see it. I saw hale bop and it was awesome. Haleys i wont be able to see till im eighty.

Hale-Bop one of the greatest moments in my life. thank you for reminding me

I liked your video and subscribed. Have not hit the notification bell yet. We will see what happens.

What the heck is that dot moving horizonal starting about 12:45? (LOL)... BTW, GREAT video! It answers a lot of questions for us here in Los Angeles, thank you!

Dec 11th, clear skies I just missed my chance this morning and now a major storm moving in for a week? dang it.

Will it hit Uranus? Sorry. It's always interesting when a comet comes that close. I can't find it tonight so Im going to get a telescope. Thanks for the info.

I remember Hale-Bopp would catch your attention even if you weren’t looking for it. At its high would be visible before dark.

Sounds a bit like a film I watched a few months ago.

Amazing info and presentation, great job!

Very helpful and informative. Thank you.

Most informative video I've found thus far - Thank you from Northampton, Western Australia

Only seen two comets with my bare naked eyes, Halley and Hale-Bopp, unfortunately I'm in the lower half of the hemisphere. :'(

Wow :)

Great info, thanks for all the work.

can I just get a large supreme pan with everything!? thank's!

Thank you 😎

This video is excellent!!

Pretty cool.

Nice clear explanations and descriptions. Clear Skies.

Maybe it will be here by Valentine's Day...

I remember hale bopp; it was an amazing experience. This massive comet with its tail clearly visible even during the day. As a child, it was a fantastic thing to see. I live in Scotland.

Very informative and very well explained presentation, thank you 🙏

Very exciting!!! Between work and clouds I only got photos on two occasions. I was so excited I didn't even think about composition. Maybe I can do something fun with this one.

He said floppy disk, 😃 way back when.

Great video mate, lot of info and clearly know a lot more than me. Keep up the good work, thanks 🤝

Great info Michael, love your content I recently got a few shots of Leonard with the whale nebula using a K70 and astrotracer.

Thanks for this information :) I really hope to be able to photograph it and maybe make a video about it too. Live in south of Sweden.

Thank you for being so detailed for your viewers. Especially for PLM that need all of the help we can get. LOL. I will stay tuned in case there are updates and feel free to give even more specifics for, oh, I don't know, let's say Los Angeles for an example. Haha. Thanks again!

This is why I subbed.

Fingers crossed. I've been waiting for another comet to show its presence, I have a bortle 2 sky already chosen with no objects on my horizons. I'm gonna watch some of your videos to get some pointers. 2 weeks isnt to far off when your an amateur astronomer. Super excited and ive subbed to your channel. Thanks!!!

How this impact toward flat earthers? Lol. Can't even imagine it

Venus shines like a sackcloth of hair.

The first time I saw a comet so clearly without using any binoculars or telescope was the comet Hale Bopp I will never forget that it was so beautiful , I hope I can see this one too but because the weather unfortunately doesn’t look to good. Thanks for the information .

Nice!! 🙌🏼😎🤘🏼

I managed to get at least one photo of _Hale-Bopp_ with a 35mm SLR camera. HOPEFULLY I will be able to do at least as well with my digital camera.

I remember Comet Zi-5 and wow it was incredible. Hands down when I was just 10 the best thing I saw. I live in France 😊

Saw the comment this morning using binoculars. It was dim but not best viewing conditions. Not bright enough yet to see without aid.

reeeeeally handy info: consider it shared!

You did a phenomenal job explaining the observational astronomy behind this comet! I work as a telescope operator at the LDT and we were able to capture the highest resolution spectrum of any comet ever observed using Leonard, so it's not just amazing for pictures ;D

Best Sprite ad ever!

I’ve photographed it the past week

Just seen it 2/12/21 with 7 times 50 binoculars and an old 3" refractor above the cluster M3, look elongated and about magnitude 6

"While Venus would barely notice that mountain sized tug of gravity" that's some Venus!

Of course, my area gets cloudy/rainy weather for the next two weeks... This has happened multiple times in recent years for comets. I'm prying for a weather jinx of sorts...

At 12:08 on video what goes across the screan . , A bird ? A plane ?

Pretty good video. BTW a "great" comet officially is one that can be seen in day time which is above -2mag

i am in in southern india which is the best time to see

Did u know there's a demon named Leonard master Leonard

Christmas Comet.....ʕ º ᴥ ºʔ

YASSS

5:49 is that another comet at the top of the photo?

I searched for this comet on morning of Dec 2 at 5 EST and could not see it in 8.5X44 binoculars. Sky was clear with some haze.

Tried and no good visibility at 7x and 25x binoculars. Very dim. Anyone have any success?

Excellent information. Speaking more smoothly by avoiding unnecessary pausing between words and following the standard pauses at punctuation marks will be less distracting and more easy to listen to.

Nice timing, Sir. Leonard is starting to generate a bit of hype. Here's hoping it delivers!

Hopefully we'll be lucky enough to see Leonard rise and fall here in Scotland. I remember Hale-Bopp well, we were so lucky in 96/97. PS; completely agree with you re "blood moon", "super moons" etc. it seems to be more and more of a term batted about in the last 5-10 years (almost feeling over dramatised)

is that what I have been noticing in the western sky in morning before sunrise? it already is bright enough to resemble an aircraft forword landing light except its yellowish

Could you link us your data web pages so we take a closer look at the comet path. Just trying to see if we pass through the tail? I want to know when to expect Maximum overdrive to start happening to the machines. Best sound track ever.

Will it pass by the United States/FLORIDA?????

Thank you for a very informative and interesting lesson about this Comet. Leonard is very welcome and you are a great teacher! :)

I hope Leonard lives up to it's expectations, or better!! I loved being able to see Neowise last year, so I hope I'm able to see yet another beautiful sight! I just hope the weather doesn't become a problem lol!

I wonder how the flat Earthers will explain this.

Did it break apart ?, it looks like it , if you have a scop have a look

Off course, it's looking like being a month of clouds here. Been fine for taking the telescope apart for maintenance, but no good for seeing anything...

Hi

The daily mail. National embarrassment 😳 really looking forward to this, my daughter has never seen a comet 🙏

i live in SC when will be the best time for me to see this? i caught neowise last year by luck and trying for another shot. im guessing from this vid that around 9-10th of dec east above the horizon around sun rise? thank you and great vid

IM PUMPED

Does anyone have any recommendation where would be a good spot to visit to have the best possible viewing of the comet in Southern California? Don't really know of a nice place that is obscured with valleys and mountains and stuff

I live in Wellington, New Zealand which is Lat. 41 South. Since about the middle of June I have been observing a comet with the naked eye that appears about 10 minutes after the Sun goes below the horizon. It is the third brightest object in the sky (after the Sun and Moon). It has been moving away from the Sun all this time. In June it dropped below the hills at about 5.50pm after the Sun has set at 4.35pm. Now in November (1 hour added on for Summertime) the Sun drops below the hills at about 8 or 8.30 pm and this comet drops below the hills at about 11pm. It is moving at a low angle relative to the Ecliptic but moving towards the South. Can anyone give me some idea as to which one this is?

Unfortunately, gray clouds come in here in Germany every day. Maybe next week the sky will be clear and the view clear.

I'm sure I can never see the comet because of clouds

Fireball's, comets and a new phenomena, a trail like fireworks, this are all around the world

Dof vernush a skyft zoof los astrolis?

I hate being from the Philippines when these astronomical events happens 😭😭😭😭

Can I see it in California?

is there a summary when you can best view it based on your location? like does NASA have a website

Sprite.....ʕ º ᴥ ºʔ

what app do you use to see which direction the comet will be

Hey, it’s summer in Australia so I will wait until I hear the hype on the TV news and find the torch, insect repellent, binoculars and go take a look. “Torch” ? Yes , I live in the tropics so outside a night can get interesting. So how long do we have wait until all the religious nut jobs start owning Leonard for nefarious intent 😎. Seriously, thanks for the informative vlog.

Where did the moon go last night and the clouds came I tried to take picture I thought wat a shot it would be with them houses wilt the Christmas decorations but that moon whent into a full moon and wouldn't stay still when I zoomed in on itvbut it was olzy quarterly. Lit Updike eclipse

Hey sir, space enthusiast here! I just wanna ask if what time will it be visible for people near/very near at the equator like me? Please I really need your response.

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Name music in 1:40

Thanks for the info. How close will it get to Venus, and if it had come that close to Earth what would it look like?

why is the moon rolling 180 every 12 hours

I looked for it this morning and could not find it. Its looking like a dud.

You need to enunciate Astrophotographer a little more clearly. Thank you for the guidance. I'm looking forward to showing my daughter.

Living in a major city and not being able to see the horizon, seeing the comet was lame. It was like a glowing circle...I couldn't see the damn tail. Cities suck the life out of you...

Once I seen a huge fire ball in the sky going north boud and anther time I seen a blood moon set nort east and came back up Luke the sun ten minutes later and once I Seen a star shoot from star to star and into the moon it was Ike the moon opened up for a star to land u. It no Li I seen it but nobody was with me like usual yeah I am south of equater in Melbourne Australia best views off stars in Australia go into Northern Territory or in Middle off Australia in tribal.lands and you can see milky way well I can hmm.

sounds like a dud
