Details:
Tonight, the distance Earth-Venus was 48.8 millions of km. The distance Earth-Comet Leonard was 48.6 millions of km. My plan was to make an apparent size comparison between Venus and comet Leonard.
Unfortunely, high-altitude clouds didn't let me to take a good picture of the comet.
My images show Leonard's nucleus is a third of the diameter of Venus.
I would have liked to make a comparison of the size of the tail.
