Details:
I could enjoy imaging of the comet through Saturday night.
The comet was drifting fast toward north northwest in Ursa Major. Whitish coma was round and bright. Whitish dust tail was short toward southwest. Greenish ion coma was faint, and the diameter was around 8 minutes at the night. North is up, and east is to the left.
The comet is expected to be bright, around magnitude 5 in May, 2020, though it comes too near to Sun, and we can not see it then.
